Gosling with deformed leg. Pleas help!!!!!!

[mrpetie]

Was at the barn where I board my horse. This Toulouse gosling is about a week and a half. Its poor leg is turned in and the back part of the knee joint is a bit swollen. It can't walk, but is eating, drinking and being quite chipper despite it's leg. It can only kind of drag itself. It shows no signs of pain when you touch or move it leg. They have been moving the leg around several time a day for physical therapy. The Mother has abandoned it and it is the only gosling on the property. What can we do for its leg? Please help. I want to help it before it's too late. I am taking over a carrier and some soft bedding and a snuggle toy for it. At least it will be safe and comfortable.

There are several how-to sites for splinting a gosling's leg, I have not personally done it but the info is out there if you're willing to attempt the procedure and adopt the gorgeous little gosling!

do you think it is a twisted tibia? I can not find anything that even looks like this. Everything I have found has the leg rotated outward or both legs are spraddled. Thank you I will check those out.
