Help?!

Okay so I do a little rescue work here and there and this is the fourth day I have had this goose, he is super sweet (emden) and two years old, he has bumblefoot and hops on the foot with the scab
I felt the other leg and compared and looked at it and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong but lack of muscle, so I am adding brewers yeast to his water and doing some slow physical therapy
Week one: massage foot and leg
Week two: harness him up and take him for a walk through the water so the leg isn't strained too much; continuing the massage
Week three: create a leg weight from fishing lures for him; continue the massage
(I treat bumblefoot extremely well and had two chickens with a more severe case than him and it's basically all healed)

Sounds like you are doing a good job working with the goose. It also helps to give a penicillin shot every other day to help heal the bumble foot as well. Having a pool for the goose to swim in is also very good for exercising the leg.

I don't have a big pool quite yet, the area is being expanded this summer but there is a creek nearby and I think he would enjoy it allot if not there's the falls which are small pools that lead to waterfalls that lead to pools that lead to waterfalls
