@eli77722 Please closely read post 32 above. And please also read the responses afterward that clarify questions. I think you need to get some Duramycin, and also treat externally with the soaks and clear - clear - clear iodine.

When the leg is warmer than normal. I have seen Duramycin-10 recommended. Each person needs to balance the concern about overuse of antibiotics with staying ahead of infection.

@Masonz75 no gauze wrap - just soak to clean and soften the foot, then a couple of drops of clear (clear, clear, clear, not brown) iodine, let that dry - it dries quickly - then wait several days, soak again, try very gently to pull the darkened part off. If it's ready, it should come off...

I couldn't get it to work with my phone. . . Let's try again @ilovebirds2010 there it is!!! When it's working, a menus of names pops up. Then the letters turn blue. Also, @duckfanatic01 , I would especially get the ointment on the feet at night - when they are less active, and won't be...

Also, we can notify a member if a post by putting @ in front of the name. If the name turns blue you know it worked.

No apology necessary. Seems to me there are different levels of infection, therefore different treatments. For early mild bumblefoot, triple antibiotic without painkiller three times a day for several weeks has worked well. For Haunted55, the duck had a more advanced case - soaking and clear...

Thanks for passing this along!

A number of us have had good success with either triple antibiotic ointment or clear iodine. Here are the details on the iodine (posted by Haunted55) On July 1st, I found one of my Pekin ducks with what I would consider a bad case of Bumblefoot. Both feet were involved and I'm ashamed to say...

The pus in bumblefoot in ducks is not what one often things of, the very thick but fairly liquid stuff. In ducks, the material inside is more like cottage cheese, at least in many cases. Here is a method of treatment that has worked well for a number of people. It was submitted by Haunted55...

You are so conscientious! Some of us check feet at intervals, I mainly watch to see how everyone is walking. If there is any clue that they are not trotting along energetically, then I will check the feet. So far, I have caught any bumblefoot cases pretty early.

What I have done - before I learned about the clear iodine and we haven't had a bumble since - is follow the soaks with triple antibiotic ointment without painkiller. That takes up to several weeks depending on the bumble. But it works without cutting.

As can be seen in the first two pictures, the bumbles have been dramatically reduced on the Pekin with just the iodine application and the smaller ones totally gone. The last four pictures are of the Mallard who is still under going the iodine applications. As can be seen, this is how the...

If you have caught it early enough, you ought not need antibiotics. Is the leg warm? That is a clue. Take a look at this - Haunted55 found that clear iodine after soaking will form something like a scab that, several days later can be soaked and removed, taking pus with it. On July 1st, I...
