Unfortunately gosling passed away tonight in an accident that was connected to his ill leg. Thank you all for have kept him alive this long.

Honestly I got so attached to him, but I don't understand what went wrong with a leg, if bone went fully out of socket or not. I was thinking of prothesis but his leg is in pain to support on it. I was ready for amputation, but avian vet just plays on my emotions at this point, saying to come...

So, I feel like I got scammed by veterinary. I should have known it the moment the vet refused to touch or make a proper examination on the leg. And when i repeated about the tendon i was laughed at, they said such things don't happen and tendons don't slip and to not read everything online...

So you agree that it's a slipped tendon? I feel like they are fooling me by making many therapies when the situation is desperate. We sent swabs from his mouth to Germany, giving him antibiotics and antiinflamatory. I had a box with holes, but despite his tendon he breaks free from it, hitting...

We are giving him new treatment and the gosling is growing with the speed of light. However the legs are worsening and am sure the vet is shrugging off the real issue. I'm not a vet, but this looks like a slipped tendon. The gosling is in great pain daily. I uploaded a few videos.

I finally had a visit to avian veterinary in another region. I was ready for worst. But I was informed that he has a mycoplasma and chlamydia infection and gave me a full set of all medicines. Am very confused about the tendon as they kept assuring me that it was not that and to make him eat...

I had to improvise a lot, i took 2 sticks to block tendon between them and then wrapped with elastic bandaid. I understood that the leg bow is compromising his leg so I made 3D pen leg support, the dangling down part I am in fact not sure of, I wanted to add a bit of tension to tendon to not...

He hated it, but he was there most of the day... For night I took the plastic foot off in cage and left just a bandaid.

I'm not managing to not cut off his blood circulation. His paw was very inflamated, even if i use elastic bandage and tried to be gentle. The tendon stays put as long as he doesn't try to walk and it's been 4 days that I missed it. The knee is more inflamated than other leg. While am trying to...

http://www.poultrypedia.com/poultry-podiatry#chick_crooked_leg I found this. What they say is increadibly sad and I missed that 24h gap i didn't know it was the slipped tendon. I will still try as the tendon can be moved back

I put him the 8 bandage, as much as i could without blocking circulation and causing discomfort. I just am starting to loose hope and I don't know if what am doing will have him walk without my help , even if weird or crooked, just if he can be independent adult goose. How long should I...

I left out of town for a few days and left gosling with friend, we had a relapse and golsling got very sick, but now seems to recover. In all the chaos, the gosling has worsened the paw. I have splints for paws ready, but I couldn't use them since gosling couldn't stay up for past days. Now...

Ok, his eye one that is damaged was blinking like this, but very very slow but it could have been due to renewed infection, the other eye he was closing as if passing out so i didn't notice. Now that you mention it he was blinking like this very sluggish or barely and only when i was trying to...

Ok I got him 10kg (22pounds) of feed with these things: Then I got these pills for humans, not liquid but could be dusted and added in feed: And am still waiting for liquid B vitamins to arrive for chickens.. but they arrive only on Saturday.

Yes came up with a compromise, put grain with all mixtures in mealworm leftovers, I really think the tube feeding might be too advanced for me.. so anything that works as compromise am ok. He eats, tries to stand etc. He is making tiny careful steps to drink from bowl and finally tried to groom...
