Hi! Someone please help me, it is gut wrenching to look at! my baby chick hatched while I wasn't home and my mom put it in with my handicap chick and it's two week old gosling sibling. my baby goose preens my handicapped chick and he tried to help and preen my new chick but it kept flipping onto it's back and he preened and tried to help it but he is so big and he has such a sharp strong beak that he accidentally bit and ripped off almost all the flesh off of my babies leg.
the one foot I can see almost all and every bone in its foot and toes and I can see the nails completely, on that leg there is some rips too, I cant tell if the tendons or muscles are ripped but the foot looks really really bad! I am unsure if it is broken or what I just cant really see what is what.
the other foot is swollen and I cant tell if there is anything broken there, but that one just looks very bruised, swollen and the only thing there is a little raw and missing skin like a scrape. im not extremely worried about that foot.
but it still uses its bone foot and can kick pretty hard, but the foot joint and toes look extremely horrid.
Please please please help!! I am going to fix it up and clean it when I get in from the barn. I will also take pictures if needed. I need help tho, I don't know if there are muscles and tendons on top of the toes because there aren't any really left. im thinking of fixing it and putting him in a cup for a few days+ to help. idk if that will be good or not but I need some advice here I haven't dealt with anything like this yet!!
thank you in advance!!! Jazmin
