Help! Emergency!

[Gooselover567]

My gosling is trembling! She won't stop and I don't know what to do!

Is she cold or scared?

 

[Gooselover567]

no she is not scared and I have a heat lamp but she is staying away from it

I’m sorry I don’t know what that could be, I hope someone else can help.

What breed how old and is she your only one? What are you feeding and do you have a mirror and a stuffed animal to keep her company? @Isaac 0

 

[Gooselover567]

She is african and she is 3 weeks old. She has a friend and is eating unmedicated chick starter. The other gosling is fine and I don't have any toys in the brooder. Should I put some in?

 

[Goosebaby]

What do you mean by trembling? Is it constant shivering, is it an occasional head and neck tremor? Does she have lack of coordination or limping?

 

[Gooselover567]

It is shivering, and a while ago it was more often but now she has pretty much stopped.

Do you have a thermometer in your brooder? Did it maybe get wet from the waterer, and get a bit of a chill? I know with ducklings you have to add a tiny bit of niacin to their feed, but I don't really know anything about feeding goslings.

If there's another gosling with her, then probably no need for toys. When someone has only a single gosling (or duckling, or chick) they often put in a stuffed toy for it to snuggle against, and a mirror so it can see another of its kind (its own reflection, really)--because these kinds of birds don't do well all alone. But you have two, so neither is alone.
