Title: Goose off her legs -- very suddenly
Post by: Anke on July 31, 2015, 09:12:38 am
All was ok last night at shut-in time. This morning the female is unable to walk. A quick lifting up (with gander hissing in my ear defending his girl) doesn't show any wounds/blood, but I cannot do a more thorough check with her being very hissy herself too. I don't think there is any mating going on, so damage from heavy boy is unlikely....

She seems otherwise ok, no breathing difficulties, droppings ok too (checked inside the shed)....

What to do? No vet experience locally I am afraid.

Anke really strange when this happens for no apparant reason

I have 1 of my Aylesbury ducks every few months is unable to walk with no signs at all,I lift her in the coop and the following day shes as right as rain.Shes done this for 2 years now

Fingers crossed your goose will be back on her feet again tomorrow
