Yes, she’s on Bactrim twice a day for 3 weeks. I did get stuff out previously when I was soaking her feet, but now it just appears to be swelling but nothing more is coming out and no scab anymore either. So I’m just keeping it padded the best I can and doing the meds.
She’s on a 3 week stent of antibiotics now and we are one week into it because the bumblefoot still isn’t resolved. X-rays came out good though. Just making sure the infection doesn’t spread to her bone.

Thank you so much! Do you think it’s safe to wait the full 48 hours since the external pip before I intervene? I know it’s stuck but I want to ensure the yolk is fully absorbed. It’s still peeping and carrying on.
Please help ASAP! I have a duckling who externally pipped yesterday about 38 hours ago and it is peeping and moving around but now it’s feet are through the hole and it’s bill is directly next to it. I’m worried because it hasn’t made any progress in hours and the membrane looks dry. Again...
