Very sick baby gosling

[casportpony]

I put eye ointment and have been giving her (I named her Penelope because she is so sweet) antibiotics and she's better everyday. Still won't walk

so I'm making a support sling to hold her body and will begin working with her tomorrow so she doesn't lose muscle memory. I'm falling in love with this gosling and will do what I can to get her better thanks so much for all the advice. I'm also starting niacin tonight so fingers crossed

You might want to get a kitchen scale and weigh her daily. Young fowl should make *daily* gains. If not making daily gains, or loosing weight, time to re-think the treatment plan. If 5% of body weight is lost, time to start tube feeding, which I can teach you how to do.
