Serama Rooster's foot turned green and foot 'looks' dead - IS THIS FROSTBITE?

I can probably convince him to drink something. I plan to go ahead with the amputation.

Update on how he is doing after amputation. He may need antibiotics to combat infection,not sure what you have available to you where you are,here is a link for a company in Manitoba that will ship antibiotics and everything else.

I have polysporin triple antibiotic ointment, and neochlor

Neo-chlor powder? Give neo-chlor in drinking water,it contains Neomycin - targets e-coli and other bacteria(primarily in digestive system) and Tetracycline - broad spectrum antibiotic works throughout body. Apply antibiotic ointment,Polysporin without pain relief to wound.

If no improvement he may need a stronger antibiotic,but use what you have on hand Neo-chlor.

Yeah, I made sure to get polysporin without pain relief. And yes, neochlor powder sold at the feed store.

Well, the amputation went fine. Used an elastic band as a tourniquet, garden pruners to cut. Took the tourniquet off too early, so he bled a wee bit, but we got it under control, put polysporin straight on and bandaged him up. He ate like a champ almost immediately after! Seems to be doing fine 3 days later, no smell to the stump. He's even crowing again! More info at this thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...update-leg-has-been-amputated-successfully/20
