Emergency

My 6-day-old goose hasn't improved. He continues to eat well, drinks water, has good energy, but he can't walk, he falls and sometimes he stands upside down. He has no balance... I need help.

@Miss Lydia
Do goslings need niacin as well ?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Yes they do.
@Katy70 what are you feeding your gosling? can you please post a video? you'll need to load it on youtube or Vimeo etc then copy and paste it here, Does he have trouble holding his head up or is he looking at the sky ? just trying to figure out what may be going on. 6 days he is able to be in some nice warm water just deep enough for him to try and use his legs. Tub or sink. Let us know if he can use his legs
at all in the warm water and if he can stand. The water should keep him floating so maybe he can use his legs to stand up? Stay right with him.

when I had a similar problem I put my gosling in a small tupperware. you can use any box or dish where he can fit in. you need to take him out from time to time so he can eat and drink. a tight container where he cannot move while sleeping should help.
