    pine gum tar/bumblefoot

    Just wanted to pass along, we have been battling bumblefoot in one hen it seems like forever...we did the surgery, we tried soaking, antibiotic ointment, oral antibiotics meant for staph, red wonder oil, betadine/iodine stuff we had from our horses, and no matter what we did it just didn't go...

    metronidazole for bumblefoot/post surgery?

    OK, the roo we operated on was doing better, now today he didn't seem as perky so I talked to a vet about the possibility of him being resistant to the Pen G. The roo still has infected looking hocks, which we have treated, cleaned etc..plus nine days of Pen G injections. The vet felt we had...

    bumblefoot surgery done-results inconclusive

    Well we did the bumblefoot surgery on our roo tonight. My partner is a real trooper, she did the cutting...I was going to take pics but she was as stressed as the roo! We used a new scalpel (ubersharp..be careful if you use one) to cut across the scab quite deep, as deep as she dared go...

    Domestic dispute/Bumblefoot or not?? PIC!!

    Sorry this pic is sort of blurry, the roo wasn't cooperating. This round lump is VERY hard and about 1/4 inch raised. We have a dispute over whether this is bumblefoot. What do you think? Bumblefoot or not? I say 99.9 percent positive yes. My partner isn't so sure. The roo also has very...

    Was bumblefoot:repost with pic-what is this??

    This is a pic of my roos legs. You can see a white looking part in his hock, it is still fuzzing from the peroxide. This is actually black, like a nasty scab, it doesn't smell necrotic. He did not have a typical bumble, but we did pull out a piece of wood, which I suspect introduced the...

    bumblefoot-is it too late?

    Before I went on vacation I posted a topic about my roo that had red sores and cracks in his hocks. We were treating with peroxide and it seemed to be getting better. Now that I am home from vacation I can see what looks like bumblefoot on the back of his foot and he is limping again. I am...

    Roo with weird swelling/crack in hock

    This morning when we let our Rhode Island Red Roo he looked like he was doing the backwards chorus line routine. He was kicking backward and hopping around. We caught him and in the crook of his leg where his knee bends he has a swelling/lump-nothing really excreting as if it's an abcess-it's...
