Goose started laying 7 days ago, now can't walk.

[Medalrider]

My almost 1 year old Toulouse started laying a week ago. Big nice eggs. Friday, suddenly tonight, she's can't walk. Both legs stretch behind her. She can stand, falls face first when she tries to walk

Eating fine. On Purina unmedicated layer crumbles, 16% protein. Free feeds on yard grass w no fertilizer etc, free feeds on 100% orchard grass for the horses. Occasional organic "spring mix" salad mix but not in last 14 days.

Appetite good. Drinks water.

She talks, and squawks, can stand but not walk. Interacts normally with her jumbo Pekin hen buddy. In water self cleans, can paddle and stand.
Legs were very cold.

We've had wild pigeons go hypothermic and warmed and kept them a fed days till they could be released. Have extensive experience w horse and wild pidge/dove rehab. Geese... Not one clue. YOU are my go to.

We put her in a small swim tub with warm water. Have massaged and tried leg stretches to loosen possible cramped muscles. Pekin hopped in tub w her and kept nuzzling her legs. ?

When she tries to get out the tub she's goes face first with legs v sick behind her.

She has had no access to anything toxic or dead for botulism.

Please help! I'm at a loss!! Bedding her down in deep hay w heat lamp for tonight. Am taking her to avian specialist tomorrow. Just want to help her for tonight.

She may be egg bound. A stuck egg can push on the nerves going to the legs, resulting in paralysis. When did she last lay an egg?

To check, can you put on a glove, lube your finger, and carefully feel inside the vent to see if you can feel a stuck egg?

If possible, can you get ahold of some calcium gluconate? It is sold at Tractor Supply and other feed stores.
