Lame gosling

[Flockfolks]

Hi, guys. So hubby noticed one of my African goslings limping this morning. The others all seem fine, walking around eating and enjoying the grass and pool.

He was walking/ limping until just a few minutes ago, he seems to be having trouble standing on it now. Any ideas? Nothing appears swollen or necessarily wing with his legs other than his walk and he was fine last night when I put them in for the night. They are outside all day grazing and still have feed available as well. I see no signs of bumblefoot and all others are fine. They're almost 7 weeks old.

He's doing this. Still eating and drinking, moving around and the sweet baby honks.

Maybe a sprain, they are so clumsy. He might need rest in a small pen.

After some rest in an old dog pen made into a goosey hospital, and soaking his leg in warm water with Epsom salt twice a day, Andre is almost back to normal.

I allowed he and Tyrion to return to the rest today, free ranging, and he did fine.
