what could a vet possibly do

[Jenbirdee]

If I could take Frankie gosling to the vet , what do you think they would suggest?

I have seen some vets talk about this I can't remember where, But I do remember they do a splint with some sort of straight rod in it to slowly realine or push the bones to set correctly. I don't know about the major foot but definitely don't put it off! I know in puppies swimmer syndrome or any deformity is so important to start right away.

 

[ZZbean]

They could also depending on what you do see with an x-ray how far the deformity goes up.

Possibly what @ZZbean said about realigning the foot. I can think of some experimental things but I’m not a veterinary surgeon and have no clue if it would be beneficial.

I had a goose that hatched crippled like yours. I spent thousands having him casted until adult sized, then surgery with pins/rods to reset bones. He was able to live a pretty normal life for 3 years, but the leg eventually broke down (he was a heavy-set dewlap toulouse), and he threw a blood clot resulting in pulmonary embolism.
