You need to really hollow it out. get all the gunk out. if you have nail scissors, cut around the inside of the skin and try to pull out the middle. fill it with antibiotic cream and wrap it. Check in 4 or 5 days and repeat if it fills up again. Be careful of the tendons and cords when cutting...

Oh and for chickens, just soaking doesnt work...you have to cut the plug out. The thing about staph is that it makes the hard plug and if you dont get it out manually it will remain and keep coming back. it will never fully heal. inject tylan 50 directly into the foot and coat with neosporin and...

In chickens you soak along with the surgery to enable the pus and plug to come out easier...its actually easiest to do the operation on the sinkboard and hang the feet into the sink so you can run water over them. They bleed a lot if you do it right. That said, its very hard to treat in ducks...

be aware that the wound care gel treats the MRSA form of staph and not necessarily the bumblefoot variety. Be very careful with the tri cide neo. use gloves and eye covering...its very strong and can be dangerous if you get it on you. the problem with bumblefoot is that the chicken is unable to...

Hi...Im here... First of all, staph will not get to your babies and kill them, unless they have open wounds and you touch the staph and then the open wounds on the babies. I would suggest wearing medical gloves (available cheap in most drug stores) when treating the feet of the chickens that...

Its not off topic at all because bedding and yard material is a big issue with bumblefoot....anyway, I agree...Hay and straw are dirty and harbor parasites. They also can both mold and they smell. I would strongly suggest staying away from them. The little sticks in hay can make tiny holes in...

You have to cut it out as soon as possible. Look at the link on this forum that goes to the surgery (it should be stickied at the top of the emergency section)....scrape all of the white gunk out and try to get the kernel, which at its worst looks like a corn kernel or a stalactite . If the...

Once it gets to stage 4, which is ligament involvement and its up the leg etc..its pretty much over...the bird can live just fine till it seems to be in pain. But I wouldn't bother treating it. The bumble has to come out...tea tree oil is a topical antiseptic but does nothing for this...if you...

as someone who has done a number of these surgeries AND used the soak treatment, I can say that in this case it looks to me like you must cut the thing out if you want to save the bird. This is what I suggest. Have on hand: rubber gloves, neosporin, gauze, vet wrap, a good blade like a clean...

Why dont you operate?...it may be too late by now but if you soak it and cut it out under the running water, then inject half a cc of tylan daily into the foot or thigh, it may have a chance. Once the bumblefoot goes beyond stage 2 it starts to go into the bone and its hard to get...

I ordered some on ebay from a Koi outlet. I have 2 hens and one duck with bumblefoot now (they have been operated on already) and Im gonna try it. It was a very hard winter around here and Im seeing alot of everything...I have alot of experience with bumblefoot surgery and really, once the...
