How is her leg doing?
mine developed an infection in her hock as well. I’ve been soaking her in Epsom salts & applying Vetericyn.
it’s probably a staph infection 🙁
It’s definitely not gout, I’ve gotten several kernels of infection out in surgery 6 weeks ago. It’s bumblefoot - these are pics from last several months. It’s no longer nearly as swollen since I removed those kernels.
she has more kernels now but they are firmly stuck in there & that is where...
You can put her in a warm Epsom salt bath, use coconut oil to lube her vent. VERY GENTLY try to work out any egg shell that’s stuck.
let us know how she’s doing.
You can give her crushed up tums for a calcium boost
Have you given her crushed tums? It’s a calcium boost.

my quail has a very deep, severe bumblefoot infection I have been treating for several months.
two rounds of very strong antibiotics, twice daily Epsom salt soaks, PRID drawing salve for months did nothing.

I am new to poultry and I’ve never dealt with bumble foot before but I have found it to be very nasty and hard to treat.

my girl had a bad infection but continued to get worse, I had her on antibiotics for over two months - the vet I...
Just wanted to give an update - I sent pictures to a vet who consulted a poultry specialist and they confirmed they both thought it was bumble. After months, both spots in her foot came to a head and you can see the little round abscesses. After seeing that, I knew I needed to cut her open -...
Thank you, I’ve actually soaked her twice a day for several months. It has not helped and I’ve also applied PRID drawing salve & Vetricyn.
she has now had two rounds of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory and unfortunately still infected. it’s a very very severe case unfortunately.
Hello so I am fairly new to quail and first time having this issue.
My young girl about six months old developed what I thought was bumble foot in July. She did have a couple scabs but her foot was not swollen at that time.
