I think the problem is we arent getting all the infection out - he is going to cut her open tomorrow if two the laser treatments dont show improvement by tomorrow. I will be much happier having him on the side of knife versus me!
Several of those pieces squeezed out easily which was weird I thought too. Yes the vet think it is just a horrible case of bumble foot. I have seen pictures where the infection has been removed from the top and also the bottom - so I am assuming the infection can be anywhere in the foot. This is...
So about 4 weeks ago I noticed my female Rouen was no longer applying weight to her right foot. She was hobbling - I picked her up and noticed her foot was very swollen and the bottom main pad was very large and black - clear signs of bumble foot correct? We brought her inside the house to the...
I would just watch closely. He may have just gotten food up there and couldnt clean it out good enough and got stopped up. Sounds like you are adding vitamins to water - maybe just give them directly through a dropper - babies are super easy to give vitamins to and keep the electrolytes in the...
I have Rouens and I thought they all looked similar until 4-6 weeks as well but honestly I cant remember exactly that was all that I could think it a possible reason.

My friend had a snake they caught ate the entire clutch 3 days before hatch! They picked it up and took a photo with it and all the eggs in the belly - gross and sad at the same time!
Unless your prepared to due a full "surgery" on them as we call it in our house poking a hole in them only shrink wraps them. There are very good posts here on how to help hatch if they are struggling. Just know it is very time consuming and the success rate isnt always great. I personally have...
I had one doing the exact same thing so I separated her for a week and gave her extra vitamins and she hasnt done it since. I still dont know the cause it gave me a heart attack watching her seizure or what ever it was. I came up on her in the same exact position and I thought for sure she was...
That is horrible but glad the three are okay. Your video is a fan favorite for my boys to watch!!
Make sure you clean them up and check them over for any bites to make sure they dont need antibiotics for an infections that may come on.
