Amazon or Ebay should have currettes - the size you want depends on the size punch you use. You need to be able to get it in the hole you have created. There are a couple of different types - the one on the video was a spoon currette. There are wire types but I would try to find a spoon type...

Regarding the blisters between the toes from the rubbing. What about trying some liquid bandage, new skin, or something similar? If the foot itself is healed & the vet wrap is rubbing blisters & causing new wounds - that might be a viable option. You would want to make sure the blisters are...

AWESOME JOB!!! Everyone looks great!!

I look forward to your next update & pics! Hopefully Ro will start healing well...maybe a plug will come up & your can get that out of there! It does sound like the free ranging & terrain might contribute to the bumblefoot...but this is one of those situations that you have to really look at...

I would agree that 5 days is too long between bandage changes - my suggestion would be no longer than 3 days. Chicken feet get nasty! Pretty Girl & Goldie's feet look really good! You probably could have left Pretty Girl's open to air, but I don't think you are hurting anything by 1 more bandage...

There are several different types of biopsy punches. Some are spring loaded & some are not. The one used in the video was not - those can be pushed through the foot with enough force. The spring loaded ones are harder to do that with since the blade only comes out so far. I personally use the...

Ideally you want to get big enough to go around the black scab + a 1 mm margin (or larger if you can feel the kernel below). When I have used these on parrots that have been abused (improper perches causing foot issues) I've gotten a size or 2 larger than I think as well as a size or 2 smaller...

I don't know about TSC, but I have seen them at Rural King. I'm betting TSC would have them.

I'm really not trying to criticize at all! I think you are doing a great job! As I said before, hindsight is always 20/20 - I'm not sure what I would do "in the moment". Next time you are at the farm supply store, look for biopsy punches. They are much easier to use than scalpels and can get...

It has been suggested to the OP early on to get a scalpel, but per her description of her procedure on day 3, it does not appear that she is using one, only tweezers. I do think she would have better luck with a scalpel and tweezers. But I'm only a medical professional, not a vet.

I think you might have gotten more kernels if you had a biopsy punch or scalpel (x-acto knife would work too). Tweezers are great for grasping, but not for cutting tissue. Of course hindsight is always 20/20!

I'd be tempted to open them back up...they still look like they might have smaller kernels in there. I know you got good size kernels with at least one of these chickens (sorry - didn't go back and reference which ones), but with the excellent care you have been giving & the magnapaste, there...
