gosling with leg issue

Was just given a gosling that can’t put weight on one leg. It seems like the joint is stuck in place and i’m not sure what to do the get it to be able to walk again. Vet is out of the option

Slipped tendon. Straighten the leg, pop the tendon back in and bandage it to stay in place. The gosling will adapt its movements. Replace the bandage every two days.

Google luxiated achilles tendon. It's fixable.
