Injured female goose - not walking

[cottontail farm]

Yesterday my Pekin drake duck got into the pen with my geese (1 male and 2 female Africans) by the time I realized what was happening he had been terrorizing one of the females quite badly. It apparently got so bad that when I got out there the other female goose was on top of her too. She will not/cannot walk. I killed the drake and separated her off into another pen with two lady ducks for company. She is eating, drinking and preening but will not stand. I cannot see any obvious injuries. Am thinking that she either had internal damage or has sprained something trying to get away from them.
Can anyone advise me please? This is terrible.

Anyone? I feel like I need to make a choice here.

Give her some days to get over this. Geese are tough and can over come so pretty serious injury. If you have any poultry vitamins add this to her water it can help boost her immune system right now, Poor thing has been through a traumatic experience. Give her time.

Thanks Miss Lydia. I am concerned because this is the same goose that got her head stuck in a fence last summer and lost a lot of blood - but was fine the next morning.
She seems to be in shock, even 24 hours after the fact. She does not have any reaction when I pick her up, no signs of pain just stoic to the point of almost catatonic.
Is this typical?

 

[Miss Lydia]

How is your goose this morning showing any signs of recovering? even a little?

What your describing sounds like my broody goose she is catatonic when brooding.
But once I pick her up she comes to and start flailing to get away.

I sure hope you see improvement today. Hard to grasp her having internal injuries from a drake but I guess it's possible I had a Muscovy drake who killed another by beating him up . No outward sign of injury at all.

I'm sad to report this but I had her put down this afternoon. The more I watched her and tried to get her to move the more I'm convinced she actually had a spinal injury or was paralyzed from a certain point down. She absolutely was not able to move her legs or feet or tail, not even reflexively it seemed. Her toes were curled under, she was sitting oddly and you could literally nudge her and she would roll onto her side without trying to catch herself. And while it seemed at first that she was eating and drinking I came to realize that she was dipping her beak into the bowls and *trying* to eat and drink. And tearing at the ground in front of her in a way that made me think she was in pain. How horrible. Of course she was the nicer of the two females. Ugh. What a day.

I’m so sorry for your loss
