We got ten Embden goslings two weeks ago. A week ago one of them died after 24 hours of tremors, very bent neck, sudden running around as if in a panic, and not eating. It would fall over and flail trying to get back up. Two days ago another died, same thing. Today, a third is doing very poorly, and a fourth is starting to show the same symptoms.
If they got too cold, would it cause this? After a week, we put them in the shed with a heat lamp, but it still got kind of chilly at night. I brought them back in the house now, even though they are huge. The poorly doing one was better for a few hours, but now is back to having a twisted under or back neck, and flops around. I can get it to drink but not eat. The other one that is doing badly is mostly lethargic and refuses to eat or drink. The ones that have become ill are the smallest ones out of the group.
Any ideas?
