Help! One of my geese has a bad leg....

[melbow]

I noticed this bad leg about a couple months ago and wondered if the goose would be able to walk when it got bigger. Today I noticed the goose laying down and it didn't move, she can only walk a few steps and her legs won't hold her...is there any kind of a brace made for geese? Does anyone have any idea how I can help her? I tried a flexable bandage and it made it worse..

This may or may not work, but have you tried vitamin supplements. Apparently from what I have read, a lack of Niacin will produce lameness. I could be wrong about that, but if you do a search on the site for lameness you should be able to find out more. Hope it all goes well.

There are many reasons geese go "lame". The legs on geese are their weakest part.

Glentwo has some great ideas, vitamin deficiency is one of the leading causes. What do you feed her and how much?

Have you looked over her leg for injuries?
