What kind of Goose is he?

She probably won’t want to swallow the vitamins on her own, the taste is very strong, so you’ll need to administer them orally.

Here’s the best guide to do that https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...dications-to-all-poultry-and-waterfowl.73335/

I’m guessing she probably isn’t used to being handled so you’ll need to have someone else help you corner her to bring her inside somewhere she can be kept while she recovers, which will also make it easier to give her vitamins every day.
The easiest way to give her vitamins is by holding her body to the ground with your own by crouching over her, but not sitting on her, you just need to restrain her. Use one hand to apply presssure to the corners of her mouth until she opens, then wrap your hand around her upper jaw, not too tightly, just enough that she can’t get away, this will actually keep her from biting too. Use your other hand to administer the vitamins with the syringe down her throat via the method in the guide.

If you have a tractor supply in your area most of them have all of the things you’ll need.

Liquid B complex (it says injectible, but it can be administered orally.”

Poultry Nutri-drench or Rooster Booster Poultry Cell

6 ml or 12 ml syringe

Purina Flock Raiser, or Nutrena All Flock, or Purina Game Bird Start.

Thank you so much for your help!! We've got some work to do. You've gone above and beyond❤️. I'll keep you posted on her progress!!
 
She looks like my Toulouse Missy. I hope you can get her feeling good again. Sounds like goose needs some very special attention. If you can get her on dry ground you should be able to catch her pretty easy since she isn't walking well.
