OK, the photos arrived but I do wish that the video could
have come, too. Other people's videos were able to get
here and were quite useful, too.
I am always cautious about any taping or splinting except
when it actually part of a specific treatment.
I could see the swelling of your gosling's hock joint but
can not be certain how it is injured. It was good that it
was on beautiful grass which is a natural non-skid surface.
I do not have any geese now but when Mother was living she
did raise some so I learned some hazards to avoid.
One time a baby goose was in a box in the house over night.
It escaped while we were sleeping and chewed on carpet.
When I woke up in morning it was dead having choked itself
on carpet fibers and some of Mother's long hair that it
found in the bathroom. If there is trouble a goose will
find it. A nearly grown goose is awkward and can drown in
a five gallon water bucket just like a human toddler.
Perhaps you can find a vet that treats poultry near you.
I do know that they are hard to find unless you are in a
state that has poultry labs. These do exist here in
Georgia because this state has large poultry and egg
industry.
