    How do you manage treating 5 chickens with bumblefoot?

    . I have moved my hen from crate to small makeshift day time area that's very small but gets sun and grass. Only moved her to dust bath yesterday(1st time in 3 or 4 days) and as soon as she stood up, back to the makeshift daytime area. But that's only cause I'm home and around that it works for...

    I was here because of the antibiotics. I guess you'd have to read back to see after user Bailey. But I'm still confused by all of it.

    Well I'll continue the soaking and wrapping. Start treating the sore on her chest. Thanks for all the info.

    Do I need to worry about sepsis?

    I'll see what I can do. I'll have to look around here and see how people wrap that location on a bird. That yellow tinge on her skin is infection or just how their bodies respond to injury?? I really don't know what I'm looking at.

    I know it's not as bad as other things I've seen out there. This is all new to me. She's a "24" model. Just over a year. I'm guessing it's a body size with poor roost height that started this. Are you suggesting to wrap and pad the breast bone sore? Is that even what that is?? Thanks for getting...

    I will try to get new pix today. This is a progression from over a week- pre plug(top) removal (needed days of soaking to come out clean) and the bottom pictures are post removal a week later with continued treatment. She's also got a keel? Rub from laying down all the time.

    She's in a crate to limit movement. Her color is great. She's still bright eyed. She's eating when food is placed directly under her face. I don't think debridement is smart for me to do. But maybe I'm wrong. I was wrong about the doxy and that was my gut telling me to get that antibiotic over...

    My gut says there's an infection. Idk what kind. But the heat and swelling tell me it's more involved. I'm guessing since it was in the nail bed. My gut said to get her to a vet- not possible- then my gut said get antibiotics. I bought the "wrong" kind. I'm shooting in the dark. Starting to...

    There's no wound. I pulled the nailbed plug last week and have been packing with Neosporin. Using all the topical stuff I can. Prid, Epsom soaks, betadine... The heat and swelling is bad. I can't get to a vet. They are an hour away(2hours). What would you do?

    Treating bumblefoot with tricide-neo

    Are you still on this forum? I'd like to know what you decided worked. Sorry it's over a decade a later. I'm stumped with my girl.

    I'd still take advice from anyone here who will offer it. I see we're not ok with antibiotics without a DR. That's fine. I've never used them before, didn't really want to throw out eggs, but I also don't want my bird to die over something I could try to fix. I'm not going to debride her foot...

    She hasn't used this foot in over a week. There was a plug in the toenail bed. The other foot also has a pad plug I started to remove but she's not able to use the other foot... Any tips on how to get the infection out of the inside of her body? The picture shows the foot prior to plug removal...

    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.
