Hello, I wasn't sure if I should post this in the goose or injury section so I put it in both:
My African gosling tripped over a low-lying plastic bin while running and now s/he's limping very badly. I have her locked up in the pen with her other goose friends, gave her extra niacin in her drinking water and also provided her with a container to swim in. Is there anything else I should do for her? Thank you for any advice.
 
Hopefully, the injury is minor and she's simply sore after her encounter with the bin. Have you examined her leg to determine if there is swelling, heat, or other symptoms?

I'd try to restrict her activity for the next few days, at least, and monitor her progress. Wishing your gosling a speedy recovery!
