    HELP!!! What is this??

    So, nothing really to report per se. I tried to remove more pus with the slicing method on Monday, but it was a thin layered hard scab and pus and was hard to cut away without a lot of bleeding so I stopped. We've just been soaking and treating her food and giving her the meds. I'm hoping the...

    HELP!!! What is this??

    Thanks for the idea! Yes, I've heard of it and actually have some in the coop storage, but haven't used it yet. So far, I've been successful in my past bumblefoot surgeries (only 2 previous because the 1st one the scab just came off and all the skin underneath was already healed). The other...

    HELP!!! What is this??

    Thanks for the idea! I did a quick research, and am not certain on a proper/safe dosing for chickens. Plus I don't currently have any. I'll have to do more research later when I have more time and not so exhausted. The other things I've been doing so far have been working, so I'll just keep...

    HELP!!! What is this??

    @coach723 Here are some pictures of her poop. Let me know if you think we should change how much medicine she's taking. (these are from a few days ago, but they are pretty much the same) Her cecal poop is runny.

    HELP!!! What is this??

    Sorry it's been a couple days since I've posted, LOTS of craziness going on here as well as pure exhaustion. 2 days ago I had about half my family get injured in some way (including myself) and seemed like all I did all day long was nurse injuries, including Poppy. I slept REALLY good that...

    HELP!!! What is this??

    So her droppings haven't been normal since we've brought her in from day 1. Again, I attributed this to her not eating and drinking enough because they looked like that type. Very small and green. I have noticed that her droppings lately seem to be very liquidy, but thought it was from her...

    HELP!!! What is this??

    Day 7 update: Removed the pus looking scab from her breast blister last night and a few small pockets of pus that I could see. Sprayed, treated, and wrapped. I FINALLY discovered a way to wrap her without her being able to get to it and pull the nonstick gauze pad off! YEA! I did one wrap...

    HELP!!! What is this??

    Thanks! Yes, there is so much great advise and info on here, and I'm so glad there are so many out there with more knowledge than me willing to help out. I feel so much better at least trying to do something to the best of my ability than just sitting around twiddling my thumbs and hoping for...

    HELP!!! What is this??

    Day 5 update: Swelling on her foot hasn't gone down (still the size of a golf ball), but the coloring looks much better and it doesn't smell anymore. Even my hubbie said "It's starting to look more chicken colored!" Her breast blister looks TONS better! This sugardine stuff is awesome...

    HELP!!! What is this??

    Ok thanks. Sounds like we'll be treating this tonight when my expert chicken holder (aka my hubbie) gets home. 😜 From the links you shared, it just looks like typical bumblefoot surgery except on the belly instead. I'll see if I can get all the puss out, cleaned, and wrap it good, though...

    HELP!!! What is this??

    Here's day 2 update: Her foot scab is looking much better, not nearly as black anymore. It still smells, but not as bad. Have done the soak and spray with meds twice daily. Attached are some updated pictures. I don't think she's eating or drinking much, so I just started the tubing process...

    HELP!!! What is this??

    Ok thank you both for your help! We soaked her for about 30 mins this time as I was getting the dog crate cleaned and ready for her. I basically just threw the book at her. Soaked in soapy water with a little betadine and chlorohexidine as well as epsom salts. Her foot smells something...

    HELP!!! What is this??

    Just to clarify, I should NOT do bumblefoot surgery? I have no problems doing that as I have before in the past.

    HELP!!! What is this??

    Ok thanks! Managed to get some of the fishbiotics cephalexin locally. Will start her on that and also the twice daily soaks with the sprays.
