Gosling with hyperextended hock- bending wrong way.

[grassrapt0r]

Hey guys- I have about a 4-5wk old gosling that had what we thought was a niacin deficiency. We have her in a b complex as well as vitamin r and selenium. We now know there’s more to it. She started with her leg laying behind her constant my and bearing no weight but now after 2 weeks of. O improvement the hock looks hyper extended. I’ve tried to brace or splint it in a slightly flexed position but I don’t know if it’s helping or hurting. Any advice? If it is hyper extension- is it fixable?

The hyper extension in her right hock is worse than this picture now. Not horribly but noticeably.

If anyone has dealt with this and knows how to splint or if rehab is even possible please let me know

I’m not sure but this may be caused by a slipped tendon.
