That's sad, and I hate to hear it! There's not much solid info put there on waterfowl the way there is for chickens. Niacin is a big issue when they are young and developing, and I've dealt with that. But once they are grown it is not anywhere near as impavtful, and unfortunately niacin deficiency gets blamed for almost every issue goose owners encounter, which is not helpful. Giving excess niacin usually does not hurt, but it is generally only the issue when they are quite young and usually presents as or with severe leg issues.

Sadly a necropsy is the only way to truly know, and I offer my condolences to your friend 😔

It's really hard to say, but it sounds neurological. Vitamin/mineral deficiency could be to blame, but and infection like tetanus or e coli could be to blame as well. I'd isolate in a carrier or a box so it can rest give multivitamin in water via syringe, and perhaps some honey/egg mixed with water. Without knowing what the animal was exposed to or bloodworm, anything but supportive treatment is a shit in the dark! I hope it does well and recovers, if you are able to find a local avian vet. You're lucky.

I'm a'ight, just been busy working
