Are you sure it's vitamin E and not B

I'm not doubting your breeder but I've never come across this and all her symptoms that you've mentioned over the last few days have all said to me Vitamin B which is why I suggested brewers yeast powder on her food but yes get her to eat grass and plenty of it, you don't want her getting angel wing.

Really pleased that the news is better than expected and hope she continues to get stronger

get her on grass

it developes when the gosling is fed too intensively with crumbs

Are you giving them waterfowl crumbs or chick crumbs???

There's some Vit E in spinach and brassicas etc but lots more in in wheatgerm, grains and nuts etc.

Now with that I'm not sure, is it what you were recommended by the breeder? I've always used waterfowl stuff.

Your best bet is grass and lots of it, when mine are in doors I hang loads of it up for them to eat. The one with the reddish seeds a favorite this week

Really do hope she pulls through this blip
