    Foot swollen and splitting

    That’s what I treated it as when she first started limping, but there was never any visible bumble. The first anything became visible was on the top of her foot, started out looking like this:

    Foot swollen and splitting

    Cephalexin was delivered this evening, so we’re starting that tomorrow! (It seemed like everyone was out of clindamycin.) The topical spray seems to be making some progress as well - the black is starting to peel and there’s more pink areas showing. So I’m feeling way more optimistic about it!

    Foot swollen and splitting

    Can anyone tell me what might be going on with this? Our Polish hen flew over the run fence and started limping. Her foot and leg felt swollen and hot. After two days, the scales on the top of her foot split apart, and it’s just gotten worse since then. It has been a month. We’ve tried epsom...
