Hurt Gosling

[Hidden Creek Homestead]

We have a three goslings that were accidentally sent to us. They are about 4 weeks old. This morning when I went to let them out onto the grass one was laying there with her leg stretched out behind her. I can tell that our duck must have injured her because she is also missing some of her down. She will not get up and walk on it. I have no clue what exactly is wrong with her leg. She is eating and drinking. Any suggestions on what I can do for her?

Keep her somewhere safe, comfortable, and confined and see if she feels better after some rest. She could have a muscle related injury, fracture, or break. If it’s the first two it will heal as long as she doesnt keep stressing the injury, she needs to rest, if it’s a break she might need to see a vet.

I would keep the ducks separated from the goslings. Hope she is doing better
