A single 3 day old gosling, floppy neck, not standing, not drinking or eating unless I feed it, lies in a ball mostly, occasionally flinging itself around. Getting nutri drench when I can get some into it. What else can I do? Any suggestions appreciated.
 
Update: day 4, evidently has wry neck. Seems slightly stronger today but neck is still twisted so it can't eat or drink by itself. I am struggling to hand feed & water but am concerned I can't keep up with nutritional needs as it grows. If the source is nutrition, when can I expect to see improvement in neck? If neurological or traumatic, that's out of my hands and I'd rather put him down than watch him starve to death.
