Hi All,

One of my ducks Lilly had developed some swelling around her toe which turned out to be bumblefoot (pic 1). Lilly was taken to the vet and the bumblefoot was drained/removed and her foot wrapped. It has been 6 days since then and she has developed a new black scab. Is this normal or does it require another visit to the vet? I have attached a pre- and post-surgery photo. The black scab seemed to be smaller before the surgery. She is walking normal, eats, and drinks normal but sits sometimes.

It does not look like it was all removed, and it is regenerating. Some bumblefoot can take a fair amount of time to heal, but that looks like it's gotten worse, so yes, if you will be doing vet care, I would take her back.
