I live in a small town in Eastern North Carolina and I currently own 8 geese, 6 ducks and numerous chickens.

I have almost always had problems with keeping my chickens well and some ducks have passed for health reasons but never a goose.

I really need some knowledgeable help on this problem I have with a gosling (almost 2 months old).  She was going strong and then one day I went out and she couldn't walk well.  Now she falls most of the time when she tries to get around.  Yesterday,  I put her by herself in a cage and I looked out the window and saw her fall on her back.  She eats well and drinks ok but she can't keep her balance.  Do you know what could be wrong with her?  I do not have a vet nearby (within 2 hours ) that sees geese.  So that's a problem.  I'm trying desperatly to save her!  Someone said to give her polyvisol (childrens vitamins without iron), pedialyte (didn't see her drink any at all.  I'm at a total loss!

Please help me if you can.

Thanks,

Cindy
