Sebastopol Gosling limping on knobby knee

[Stinkin Cute Chickens]

My 2 week old gosling is limping on his right leg and the knee/ankle joint is knobby and protruding unlike the others. What is it and what to do? Slipped tendon? Dislocated? Should it be splinted? Please help! Thanks

@Stinkin Cute Chickens Possibly injury? are you giving supplemental niacin to your gosling or goslings? it's very important they have it for their first 10 weeks of life. Since your little one is having difficulty I'd get Liquid B complex and start giving 1ml over something tasty TSC carries one it will say injectable but we use it orally. I'd give your little one some rest and water therapy. And if it doesn't get better with rest water therapy and liquid b complex might be a good idea to have a vet look at it. I can't say for sure what this may be but starting by eliminating Niacin deficiency is where I would go first. Unless you can get a vet to have a look.

Did you ever find any answers? Our roughly 3wk has a knee similar.
