Last week I had one gosling hatch with a twisted leg, not functioning from the ankle down.
The prosthetic i made is sized for a 1 week old gosling.
I found a decent looking prosthetic on Etsy for 145.00 CAD.
That is a disgusting price.
I created one and posted it for free on Thingiverse for anyone to download and 3d print.
As she grows and the prosthetic needs to be adjusted I will post updated files.
I hope I can save at least one person some money.

So creative!

You should put her picture here too, and do progression photos. That would give folks who think it's hopeless some hope.

Her prosthetic is a work in progress.
I am constantly editing the design to get the best results.

Hi! We have a 3wk old Pekin duckling with what looks like the exact same deformity. I don't have a 3D printer but probably know poeple who do. I am wondering if you have made one for it when the she is older?
