    How do you manage treating 5 chickens with bumblefoot?

    I'll probably make a super tempting mash. If all else fall l fails, I'll go oral syringe.

    How do you manage treating 5 chickens with bumblefoot?

    Try jedds.com for the future. I didn't know I could get doxy, and many other antibiotics right online. I ordered last week and they say it will be here by Friday this week. Good luck with your bird.

    How do you manage treating 5 chickens with bumblefoot?

    Is it wrong if me to not bring her to a vet and give her meds myself? I'm torn. My gut/history says doxy and continued soaks/treatment. But I'm not a vet. I don't have X-rays to confirm the stage of bumblefoot.

    Is this irresponsible?? Without a script?

    Antibiotics sourcing

    I went with doxy as I suspect bumblefoot into bone issue. My gal had a plug alongside/in her toenail. Got heat, swelling, and redness. I'm hoping my research guided me to the right solution.

    Broken toenail or foreign object?

    Nevermind! Plug!! Finally was loose enough to know for certain. Now what I'm wondering is how to get the rest of the infection out from such a small channel (toe into ankle) continuing soak and prid/wrap. Any tips besides her maybe needing antibiotics?

    Broken toenail or foreign object?

    I found a vet close enough(30 min). I'll try to get her in tomorrow. I'm guessing your right on the antibiotics at this point with the swelling, heat, and a touch of redness, no matter what it actually turns out to be. I can't believe I'm taking a chicken to a vet SMH

    Broken toenail or foreign object?

    I tried pulling but it didn't seem to move, it looks like it is deeply attached and causes her pain when I tug at it. I had no idea bumblefoot could occur anywhere. Thank you for the links. All read up. Just got some PRID in the mail to try tomorrow. I'll try to snap pics after her next soak. I...

    Broken toenail or foreign object?

    Been soaking in Epsom salt and bandaging with antibac ointment. This girl can't put weight on the toe, swelling and heat. Looks like a deep split in the nail, hubby has me second guessing. Foreign material or broken nail? Also, ever hear of a hen not being able to walk from a broken toenail...
