URGENT gosling fell out of my arms and landed hard on side is now breathing hard

[starrymutt]

My gosling fell out of my arms while carrying her to the brooder (due to her struggling), landed on her side, and is now panting and making this odd sound. She struggled to flip over but once she did she walked it off. I finally got her in but I don't know if she broke something and we don't have a vet near us

After some water she seemed to have stopped but when lying down to sleep again it started back up. She normally has a snore or sharp sound but this is definitely out of the ordinary.

I do have the heat lamps on as it'll be in the 40Fs tonight but she has room to move away. She has eaten too and seems to walk okay but prefers to rest. She also has a deeper voice now?

How is she doing? Hopefully she was just a little shocky from her accident. Tomorrow she may be more sore/stiff. Good luck with her.

I just went to check on her and she came for cuddles, let me check all over her body and nothing seemed to be hurting her or amiss that I could tell. She seems a lot better besides her hoarse voice, maybe a bit stiff walking, but she's acting normal. I hope it was just stress panting

Thank you for checking!

Could also have bruised her ribs or otherwise strained or sprained something. Keep her comfortable and relatively quiet for a few days and hopefully she’s good as new!
