bumblefoot treatment

We noticed our chicken was limping and that her foot was swollen and red- after doing some research it appeared to be bumblefoot. The bottom of her foot is swollen, but in between her toes was red and sort of crusted. We soaked the foot in epsom salts, put Neosporin on the red area, and bandaged...

we returned from holiday travels Monday afternoon to find our rooster with what appears to be bumblefoot in both feet. We soaked both feet in epsom salt for 30 minutes and was able to get the scab off his left foot, but the right foot appeared to have a thick scab through a puncture in the skin...

About a week ago, right after temperatures plummeted from 70 to 40 F (Halloween T-Storm), I saw my oldest Orpington's feet turn red on the sides and fleshy parts. They weren't red before. She also has a raised bump in-between two of her toes, one on each foot. The one on her left foot has had a...

I have a duck (drake) with bumblefoot. Apparently it's been there for a while but we only discovered it a few days ago. We've tried picking at the black part but can't tell if we're doing more harm than good. To this point we've been soaking him daily for about an hour in an epsom salt bath...

I dont know what is this? Im so worried He can walk so good But i noticed these blains

My red star sex linked chicken lost a nail this week. I was finally able to wrangle her for examine her more closely and her foot looks awful. It seems like bumble to me, but I want second opinions. If it is bumble, does it appear too advanced to treat with vetricin? I'm leaving for a trip soon...

Hi all, a few days ago we rescued two turkey hens. One was immediately limping when we got home and after examining her, it looked like she had bad Bumblefoot in both feet. We now know the other one is just as bad but is lighter on her feet so isn’t limping as much. This morning I attempted...

One of my hens have some swelling between her toes, everything seems to point to bumblefoot. Checked the underside and she has some brown/black patches. However, she seems completely unbothered by her foot, walks and runs and roosts without discomfort, and is eating and drinking normally. I gave...

Hi could someone give some advice please. My hyline hen is heavily limping today we have had very wet weather for weeks and the coop is muddy. When I got her out to investigate and wash off her foot I found this wound. I can take her to the vet if antibiotics are needed on monday. Has anyone...

Hello! We have 4 backyard ducks that are all about 8 months old and within the past 2 months they have ALL developed small to very large cases of bumblefoot either on one or both feet. We are not sure how they are getting cut -- possibly the concrete blocks they were using to get into their...

This afternoon I was treating my 4 year old Lavender Orpington rooster for a minor case of bumblefoot. I had soaked his feet (he seemed a little stressed but no worse than normal for that situation) and I had him flipped over and was trying to dislodge the scabs from his foot pads so I could...

I have a girl with bumblefoot. Would someone give me the step by step instructions of how to treat it with Prid instead of surgery. Her foot is a little swollen and surprisingly she isnt limping but I know it needs taken care of ASAP. Thanks in advance! :love

Bumblefoot is no stranger to our flock, so it was easily recognizable when our three-year old welsummer (Summer) came down with it recently. Usually we take our ladies in to the vet to have it taken care of, but our avian vet is on vacation and the soonest appointment offered will be more than...

Hi There Pretty new to keeping chickens. Embarrassingly enough it seems half of my flock has bumblefoot without me noticing until last week. I believe it's because their roost was too high (I have heavier breeds) I have soaked my first hens feet in ebsom salt, disinfected and wrapped it. My...

Hi! My 2.5 year old buff Orpington has swelling around her toes and these weird growths on the side of her legs (almost like an extra toe). Is this bumblefoot and does it require surgery??? None of my chickens has had it before. Thanks!

I have a hen with two patches of bumble foot, or I think it’s bumblefoot. It’s two blackish brownish scabs on her foot. I haven’t had this happen two one of my chickens before, what should I do???? Please help!

Hey everyone. One of my new chickens that I adopted has a case of bumble foot, it’s the first time I’ve ever dealt with it. My bantam Polish has a big smaller than pea sized bumblefoot scab on the bottom of her foot. She’s not limping at all, and you can’t tell she has bumblefoot from looking at...
