If you think it's not going to get better with your antibiotic ointment and epsom salt, you could try antibiotics from a vet although I know it can be expensive. When my hen had bumblefoot, I took her to the vet who cleaned it out for me for $48 and then told me the antibiotics would be around...

My hen ended up healing just fine. I was amazed how well, actually. She made a full recovery so hopefully yours will do the same. I have used Blue Kote in the past on my birds and it seems to do wonderful things for healing. You are on the right track...keep the Blue Kote on and keep her...

Does anyone have an idea what this may be? The skin is very thin and stretched out in her chest and when I move her, I can actually hear liquid sloshing around in this swollen area. She is acting fine, lots of energy, seems to be eating and drinking plenty (it's been over 90 degrees in this...

Well...I had every intention of making the slice and removing whatever may be causing the swelling on the top of her foot but then I looked at the bottom of her foot and the scab is gone. The swelling seems to be down on top and on bottom, although the top swelling is still significant. I am...

Thanks. I will soak it in the morning and try to reopen the scab to see if more is in there. I think the epsom salt soaks alone have helped very little but it's only been two days!

Are you saying I need to do a second surgery? If so, I will get right on it. I just didn't want to open it back up if I didn't have to.

You can get the vet wrap from any vet or you can find a cheaper, but equivalent version at Walmart stores or anywhere that would sell medical supplies. The one I use is Johnson and Johnson First Aid Hurt-Free Wrap 1" wide by 2.37 yards- it costs $2.97 at Walmart. It also comes in 2 inch wide...

I never found out for sure what it was. I ended up giving them the duramycin then waited a week or so and then I wormed them with Wazine, followed for Safeguard liquid goat wormer. I also ordered some Oxine AH as I read about that on someone else's post. I treated their water and also used it...

Try separating her from the rest of the flock to let her rest until she can walk on it again. I had a RIR limping and I had to separate her for about 3 weeks but she fully recovered and is fine. You wouldn't even know she was ever hurt. As with prior post recommendation, vitamins are a good...

My hen, Ruby, was limping for about a week until one day she just quit walking on it. I took her to the vet a week ago and the vet said she did not think it was bumble foot because there was swelling only in one foot. She said it looked more like a puncture wound. We managed to break open the...

Was there something in the bag with the chick when your husband put the egg in there that makes you think there may be infection to pass on to the other chicks? I would think the other chicks should be ok if Miracle was just a little bloody. Is Miracle healthy, as far as you can tell...
