Toulouse Goslings slipped tendon? Perosis?

If it continues, surgery may be the only option.

Poor gozzie. What do you feel is the problem with it, then, Speceider?

Slipped tendon.

Slipped tendon.

Oh, ok. Thanks. So, perosis or slipped tendon can be fixed if it´s caught early enough, otherwise surgery? Does that mean amputate, or do a little op like they do on little dogs?

Sometimes it can be fixed early, unfortunately most people think it is only a niacin deficiency early on, and wait too long for a full treatment. The surgery we did on the black swans was to put them out, open the joint, clean the scar tissue from the condyles, realign the tendon, a couple of stitches (this was years age, now I would probably use a bio tape that dissolves), stitch the incision, and splint.

OK, so this is really interesting, as usually it is niacin deficiency, because they´re soon back on their feet after having it. So, how can you tell the difference at first? And how can it be fixed early? I assume by trying to work the tendon back in, and increasing manganese and choline?
So the black swans were pet ones, or at least, not wild ones...down to faulty diet? How can it be avoided?

So the male, interestingly enough, is almost totally back on its feet. But the female is still looking rough. We have officially put them out to pasture so nature will take its course.
