Sounds like a gosling, although you didn`t mention the age. It`s probably too early to see any infection. Put some antibiotic ointment on it and keep an eye on it. If it`s in the web, no big deal. The toes could be a problem, but doubtful on a brooded gosling. Just do your best to keep the litter clean.........Pop

Do you have Neosporin? I would let him take a bath first to clean it out and then lather the area in Neosporin. I have used Neosporing tons of times on my chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese with no problem. Also, if he's panting, it sounds like he's over-heated. My goslings only stayed on heat for about 2-3 weeks and don't use it anymore. They can easily get over-heated, so be careful. If he does still need heat, make sure he has an area in the pen that isn't heated that he can go to. Good luck!
