Goose is dizzy, can't walk, falls over?

[House of chic]

I am having the exact same problem with a 5 week old chic. He seems normal except that he will walk a few feet then lay over on his side. He has been doing this for several days. At this point he still eats and drinks but I am not sure if I should keep him in with the other chicks or not. Don't want her to make the others sick.

One of my Emden gueese started falling over like this a couple of days ago. Did your goose ever recover? Did you ever figure out what was causing the symptoms? Thanks!

Hi I'm Umar
I'm having the same problem, one of my two geese is affected by such disease, and it seems to follow some steps, from dizziness, fail or difficulty in walking, standing and then fail to sit or lying down on his abdomen, lying with side moving his legs, and then less vocal.
I'm not happy with her condition because as I'm posting this, she's struggling to come back to her stomach but she can't, very pitiful, I hope peoples who experienced this and treat theirs will share the management procedure.
Thanks to everyone for the contribution, I'm grateful for the little information you shared.

it was discovered that this is not a neurological disease, though the clinical manifestations are almost analogous, it's something anonymous (to me) like neoplasia or tumour on the dorsal part of their tail, the poor thing is sometimes discharging yellowish and oily pus. it's treated locally by rubbing a lemon to the affected area after you squeeze it and oozes the pus out, and clean it
somebody pls tell me the name of the disease, so that I can further learn about it. Thank you

Hi Folks:

I have 6 chinese geese (2 males and 4 females, all just about 5 months old).

I noticed a couple of days ago that one of my male pekin ducks seemed to be picking at one of the male geese. Yesterday the young gander seemed to be having difficulty walking. He could walk, but didn't have very good balance. This morning when I let everyone out to run, I saw that he was worse. Then one of the female geese started treating him bad (jumping on him, pecking at him) after he fell down and was having a hard time getting back up (I've learned that chickens can also be rather 'mean' towards another of the flock that is sick).

I put the young gander and a small pekin (female) in their fenced in pen together for company.

I just finished checking on the gander and his condition (what ever it is) seems to have progressed to the point that he can no longer walk. If I try to have him lay on his belly, he tries to walk but just ends up very quickly losing his balance after a couple of steps and ending up on his side. I held him so he could drink and eat some. At this point he can't roll over onto his belly or get up at all.

He does not appear to have any wounds. There are no marks or problems it seems with his legs. After carefully watching him, he seems to have a problem with his balance or 'brain.' From what I've read, geese seem to rarely get diseases so my question is... does anyone have any idea what it might be?

Of the two males I have, he seems to have the largest 'nob' if that makes any difference. I don't believe there is any poison or anything in the yard he could have ingested. None of the other 5 geese, 6 ducks, or 78 chickens seem to be having any balance issues.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help....

Today i am having this exact same issue i have no idea what is going on.....??????

Are you adding niacin to their feed? What are you feeding?

we have been feeding them chicken layer as everyone has told us to do.

They are showing classic signs of niacin deficiency. First thing is to add a minimum of 10mg/day/gosling. Can be added to drinking water (remove swimming water) or mix with feed. Extra will not hurt them as it's a water soluble vitamin and they excrete the excess.
