Canadian Goose leg problem....

[HeatherRoss]

Hello!

I have 3 Canadian Geese, 2 males and 1 female. The Female has always limped since she hatched but as she gets bigger it gets a lot worse and her foot is starting to turn inward. The 2 males can fly and are completely healthy but she does good to walk and im sure will never fly. Has anyone else had this problem? If so what could I do to fix it or at least help her. Thanks!

If you have deep enough water she could get the weight off the leg and still exercise it. She may not improve but might have more confort. I know of a goose that lost his whole foot to a snapper turtle while young. he could take off and land on the water without problems and spent most of his time on the pond where his ladies would come to visit him. He could 'peg leg' around on the land but liked the water better.
