Please Help My Goslings Foot.

[tribalacres]

Just unsure of this, I’ve seen different posts about what to do, etc. I’ve started all of them on niacin water since as soon as they arrive.

This gosling is almost two weeks old, and I’ve given him the Durvet B complex solution, what does it look like to you?

The brooder is a crib with hard wire and then covered in pine shavings.

Any thoughts? Tips?

Can you get a few more pictures, is it only the left leg that sicks out or both, was he like this when you received him, and how much B complex are you giving her?

It’s just the left foot. I gave them 1ml, and honestly I’m not sure if they were like this. I’m not sure why I didn‘T notice this but while cleaning the brooder out I was Watching and saw they were limping.

If she is only a few days old, I think a few drops orally would be sufficient enough. Could you get a video of her trying to walk, does the leg feel warm, can she move it?

I will get a video in the morning, we tried tonight but she just walks a bit then sits. It was warm as her whole body was, nothing too abnormal.

She moves it, but then every few steps it goes sideways. She looks shaky when she’s on it.

Thank you for your advice and taking time to respond.

I had a pekin who is now five weeks old and her legs were turned in and now they are better, but with this gosling I was concerned cause it looks like turned outward. I’m a trainer so I tried to do the normal feeling on the leg nothing feels out of place but of course we are talking goslings versus humans, .

super new to this and trying to learn as much as I can.

I’m not sure if people ever come back and say thanks for the advice and tips about a few drops, we did it again tonight but the little gosling is walking better. Thanks again for all the tips and suggestions. We are watching it closely...
