Got the call from the doctor to discuss how things are looking, she and another doctor at the practice did the evaluation and based on how/when of the injury and what his status is right now (reflexes, pain location) it's more than likely that he has a fractured spine or nerve damage in his spine that is causing him to become slowly paralyzed. She wasn't convinced that X-rays would show anything, but that possibly a CT scan would, but even then if it is a spinal injury there is no positive outcome without intensive care which I agree isn't the life a goose deserves. He should be able to walk around in the grass, bathe in the pool, and do goosey things.
If we had taken him in immediately, maybe a mix of high-dose meloxicam and gabapentin could have helped, but again if it is a fracture there's no fix for it.
It just sucks, no way around it. I get that male geese fight and that this is just a freak accident, but he's such a sweet boy and it's just not fair.
