Help! Bumble foot!

Yikes indeed. Sounds like you're doing all the right stuff (soaking, etc.) and the bandaid w/ tape should be good. I had trouble getting it to stay on so really tied 'em up. 

Did you have to lance it? Ugh, that was not a fun time.

You are definitely on the right track. You dug out what you could and bandaged. However in the future, after you dig out the hole completely, use neosporin, (with no pain killer). Stick the tip right down in the hole and squirt it in. Massage the pad really well to work the meds in. Then repack it with more neosporin and bandage. Bandaids are good to use. Put on 2 or 3 of them and then bandage with a vet type wrap. You can get some really good human grade stuff that is rubbery and very elastic like in the pharmacy area. It goes on, sticks to itself only and once on, acts like a cast. That way the birds can be outside and even take dust baths with no dirt getting into the wound. You want to keep the feet as dry and clean as possible.

Now you want to unwrap the foot each day and check for more gunk. If the scab looks yellow pus colored, then you will want to open it up and drain it out. Squeezing, working the pad. Soak the foot in iodine, (Betadine is good) and warm epsom salt water. The epsom will make the infection come to the surface. Repack with neosporin and rebandage. Keep doing this everyday until the wound and scab look like regular flesh. Sometimes the very next day the scab just looks like a healthy red scab. Other times it looks gummy and yucky.

I am working on a girl now that I had originally used Amoxicillin on, however the Amox did nothing for her and now I am giving her penicillin injections. 

Keep at the feet. Bumblefoot is a wicked infection and use precaution on yourself as it is a staph infection. Sterilize your tools between birds so you are not sharing any bacterias between them. And wear surgical gloves in case you have a cut on your hands, you don't want the staph either.

Good luck!

This bumblefoot infection or staph infection, (there is a technical name for it, but I have no idea LOL) is not transferable thru poop. They would have had to had contact with the weeping wound to get the staph internally.

Bumblefoot can come from a few ways... poke in the foot, which is the most common and looking at your pics, it looks like puncture wounds. They can also get it from a very dirty roost bar or even jumping down from a very high perch everyday and brusing the feet. Keep the roost bar as clean as possible, no sharp edges on the wood and the roost bars no too high that they come down heavy on their feet. But your pics look like puncture wounds. The birds could have gotten them on thorns or sharp edges of something. Swampy water is usually pretty bacteria laden. So they each must be stepping on something and the swampy water is causing infection. 

Actually your birds feet do not look that bad. Two of my girls got a puncture this past February. One of my girls feet looked like yours and I was able to clear it up really fast. The other girl I did not catch in time before it was pretty infected and she is the one on the penicillin shots. This is day 4 on the shots and her foot is finally looking a bit better than infected meat! LOL

Good luck with your birds. They will be fine. Just keep checking them until they heal. Soak them everyday for atleast one week after the surgery and keep up with it if the birds foot still looks funky. I have heard of folks dealing with it nearly a year later. Bumblefoot can turn nasty.

Bumblefoot is not "contagious".  Staph is in dirt everywhere.  They get it through a cut or puncture in the foot (it can be very tiny).  Do not give your entire flock antibiotics - it's over kill, unnecessary, and then when you need an antibiotic to work, they may become resistant due to overuse.  At this point, I wouldn't even give the one(s) that definitely has (have) it antibiotics.  Do the surgery, keep the wound cleaned and packed with neosporin as recommended above, and see how it goes..  Then if it isn't totally successful, start penicillin.  Here are some links for treatment:

You don't need to order it...  it's everywhere!  Drugstores, Walmart, grocery stores.  It's just a wrap for holding on bandages - and can be called many things.  Just look around the areas of stores where they have gauze and bandages!
