CHRONIC STRINGY BUMBLEFOOT

[seminolewind]

When I say thirty, it more like 3 or 4 invasive ones and the rest were just pulling out any pus I could see forming under scab when I changed the bandages. I don't think she would do ok leaving the feet alone. She tries to sleep on the edge of the door rather than the flat roost because the can sit.on the very backs of her foot where it's not swollen. They obviously hurt her.

Well that sounds better! I will be trying lalaland's vet's idea. It may be a good thing for your hen as well. Glad you started this thread.

I was ready to click the link and read some more herbal voodoo.......

But NO!!!!  Such an excellent idea!!!!!  I have a roo that is still gimpy but I'm tired of cutting his foot.  He will have a donut on tomorrow.

Thanks!

My roo's foot is real real swollen. I just don't know what to do now. Soaks? And the hole thing?

If you can feel a hard center, sugery may work for you. The problem with my hen's feet, is that there is no center. Just veins of infection in different parts of her foot. And apparently if I don't get all of it, it comes back.

I'm going to try this + ichthammol

What did you make the donut out of? I put one on yesterday but it was several layers of keflix with a hole cut in the middle. Yours looks good.
