Friday I was at the feed store and happened to notice a gosling laying on it's back. Clerk said head injury and offered to give it to me if I took the other two. I did. Within 30 minutes of getting home, one gosling had died (not the injured one). It laid down, refused to eat or drink and passed away. Last night the injured one passed away- it was eating and drinking but I think it's injuries may have been internal. Now I have one gosling. It was doing well till last night. Now it is walking backwards, not eating or drinking and stumbles when it walks forward. It's little bottom seems wet and it seems to stay wet, No pasty but and the only poo I have seen so far is liquid.
Here is what I have done so far.
Wet down with vitamin water- Feeding chick feed (non medicated) with nutritional yeast mixed in. Started the yeast on Day 2
Durvet vitamins and electrolytes in water. Started day 1
Started vitamin E (cut capsule open and feed oil). Started Day 3
Any thoughts? I am worried I am going to lose this one too. My first experience with goslings but have raised ducklings in the past.
Thank you for any advice!
