We made an appointment with the closest exotics/avian vet. Unfortunately since she's the closest, she has lots of patients and can't see us until next week. Unfortunately I don't have time or money to be able to go in as an emergency. In the meantime we'll be soaking and vetericyn-ing her...
We decided to go back in. We got some more gunk out and made a small cut on the top of her foot in an attempt to drain what was on top too but that wasnt successful. She was in a lot of pain and starting to breathe too hard so we stopped and wrapped it up. We'll let another scab form and...
I'm just worried about the cost for surgery on her foot.... and possibly getting in trouble for tyring to do it myself. But I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Omg. So we may have to cut the top of her foot too?? We havent used the iodine yet. She has a black scab on the spot we cut on the pad of her foot.

i did but I didnt have the opportunity to get some today. We've dressed the open wound, put betadine and vetericyn on it. is it too late to put clear iodine on it? how often shoudl the dressings be changed?
It got bad enough today that she wasnt walking. barely ate or drank water becuase she coudlnt reach it. moved it closer and she still woudlnt get up. so my mom and i took on the task of lancing the bumble and squeezing out as much of the infection as we could. but it still looks like this on...
Hi,
One of my girls has a bad bumble on her foot. It looks about hte size of a small marble and is warm to touch. I started epsom salt soaks on March 1 for 10-15 min once a day (i'm the only one who can do it and I work 7-5) but it looks worse. She just started limping tonight and keeps...
