I have about a month old Chinese gosling hatched and raised with it's parents , about an hour ago i heard the parents honking in distress but when i went to look where they were i figured they were just fussing at a turtle or something so i went about my business, when i got off my tractor i still heard them , went and took a look to find them in the same place, then i saw the baby, it was layed out like this,
It is drooling, beak shaking like a tremor, feels very hot on his feet and beak and it can't get his feet under himself to get up even if i tuck his feet under him he still goes right back in the same position, i am thinking mabe a snake bit but with all it's fuzz i can't find a bit mark.
Has anyone seen this happen before? could it be a snake bit, they work the ponds and mud puddles are totally free ranged
They get flock raiser free choice but mostly eat grasses and whatever they find in that mud.
there are no poisons for them to get into.
they were wormed a week ago for 3 days with safe guard.
The baby was fine all day so what ever happened just happened, it is very alert not in distress , just having tremors.
I have put him and my others in the green house so they will stop freaking out over the baby
Thanks for looking.
