    Swollen toe- Not Bumblefoot

    **Update.** the 4 days of antibiotics didn't clear the infection. I was approved for 2 additional days by the vet, about 5 days after the end of the first course. I did cut and remove more absesses along wity liquid pus, and continued on the daily changing the dressing and applying more...

    Swollen toe- Not Bumblefoot

    Thank you for the kind words. This is his foot today. I started both meds, and am continuing with daily Epsom and betadine soaks and wrapping it to keep clean. Also pictured is the absolute STINK EYE he gave me after I injected him in the breast muscle.

    Swollen toe- Not Bumblefoot

    No they did everything by picture and phone call. There are no local poultry vets here, but I am grateful for the option to have someone.

    Swollen toe- Not Bumblefoot

    I called in a vet after the ankle / heel area started to swell. I did get another abscess out, and I am hoping that the swelling is muscle trauma from having to squish and him resting on it trying to keep the toe elevated. He has been prescribed Metacam for the pain, and duplocillin for the...

I tried to put a folded up piece of cloth on the pad of his foot to ease pressure off the toe area...

    Swollen toe- Not Bumblefoot

    Thanks for the reply. I think he got it caught in the new fencing trying to go at the other rooster one separated. They keep scratching at the ground to try and start a fight. Or pecking through the fencing. Wish I could have told them to just get along lol. 11 hens each and an acre of free...

    Swollen toe- Not Bumblefoot

    Hello everyone, Long time researcher and reader, new member. Finally after 4 years of lurking, I decided to try posting my own questions. I'll try to keep things short but detailed. My 5 year old barnyard mix heavy body rooster injured his toe. I assume he broke it or tore the nail fighting...
