Hi Everyone! -RomanGeese

[Cwencgeese]

Hi everyone! I recently purchased five Roman Tufted geese. The one baby left “knee” looks swollen and it wobbles when it walks as it cannot fully put its I was told to put a makeshift splint on it and give vitamins daily. Just wanted to know if anyone else had something similar and what else I can do to help the babe have a full healthy life. I attached photos.

As of right now just some niacin. That’s what was recommended but if I should add it I will

Nevermind so it is a niacin supplement. I see that now. So I am just giving niacin.
