Gosling dying in my hands

[Miss Lydia]

Did you give Metzers a call and ask them what they think it could be and what they would suggest you do for your gosling?

So very sorry.

 

[Dave Sgro]

I did but they didn't know what to do. The only othe example I can find anywhere is on backyard chickens and metzers farm is where they got their goose from too. So far she's hanging in there. She seems like she is mentally handicapped she moves very slow in every thing she does. She will do good for a bit and then she goes back to being sick. I'm not new to waterfowl but have never owned geese. My wife thinks it's like a seizure or something i am up for any suggestions but I think I've tried it all no vets around me have any experience with geese or goslings. Thanks for all the well wishes they are much appreciated

And your supplementing with B3 in the form of niacin or Nutritional/Brewers yeast?

 

[Dave Sgro]

They are on a vitamin pack in their water don't know about niacin

Yes niacin B3 is in the vitamin pack just checked

 

[Miss Lydia]

How much niacin they need 150mgs per gallon of water a day for first 10 weeks of their lives.

Niacin def can cause neurological problems and leg problems not being able to walk is one.

I have seen niacin deficiency in ducks this is something totally different it is the darndest thing. also I am noticing she will not extend her neck much. She also isn't growing very fast not like the male goose or my ducklings. She keeps her head very close to her body at all times. The male will extend his neck look around and play with grass and sticks the female doesnt

Something is very wrong that's for sure is she eating ? how long has this been going on?
You said something about reading of another member who had a gosling from Metzers with same symptoms ?

I'd keep her warm and encourage eating and drinking her vitamin water.

Thanks I m doing my best. She has been eating at least enough to poo some. She has been like this for 24 hrs. Has anyone had any problems with tractor supply pine shavings. That's the only thing that I can find on the web that is similar to my situation. I personally use them with all my birds with no problems but it's the only other thing I can think of

How's she doing today? Hopefully better!
