"Bumblefoot is basically an infection caused by the staphylococcus bacteria which enters the chicken’s system through a cut, scratch, injury or a chafed and irritated area on its foot. The infection creates an abscess full of pus. It affects all species of poultry and occurs worldwide. Since this infection is quite common among backyard chicken flocks, you may discover that something “fowl” is afoot while visiting your chooks one day." Good luck.
@WitchyCatlady
I did the treatment for the bumble foothe but there was no pus no blood so he seems to have just strained something I'm giving him Epson salt soaks
Makuna honey
Turmeric, garlic, etc.
Thank you for your help and time
It is different that he has it on both feet. I found this post from another person with bumblefoot on both feet here's the post and I'll include the link at the end. -
"I just wanted to post an update on Polly's feet. I took her to the vet on Thursday last week and the doctor said that it looked like it could be an out-of-the-ordinary manifestation of bumble foot or a systemic joint infection that "dropped down to her feet". She has nothing stuck in her foot, no lesions anywhere, so specific points of entry noticeable by the vet, which led to that conclusion.
The vet lanced her feet, drained a tremendous amount of pus (gross), cleaned out the wounds and bandaged them. Saturday morning, we took her back and they removed the bandages.
We are now administering oral antibiotics and pain medication 2x per day, and giving her Betadine foot soaks 2x per day. We have also been instructed to keep her isolated from the other girls, off dirt (and on something soft like a doubled up blanket or foam) for 3-4 weeks. So that's what we're doing. (All this for a $20 chicken!) I am guessing that her rate of recovery is going to be faster and she'll be back with the other girls before long.
