I just actually took a course again..This time on treating Bumble because I take in rescues...Yikes...It was intense and sad..Less sometimes is more and ankle joints become infected to the point of Culling...Its extremely painful for the Duck anyway you look at it...
Separate her to a dog crate or small pen...Lots of people wrap the foot although lots keep them on clean bedding without wrap..Anyways the clear iodine yes is put on the bumble scab...It draws up the infection and then as it scabs you soak the foot in Epsom salt and slowly remove the...
No one wants to ever Cull but sometimes we need too..Sadly I Culled my Favourite Chicken...Anyways another story that's sad...
Try that and you will know when it's time to give up....
Here....Try this....Epsom salt soak and then clear iodine on the scabbed area it will lift infection to the surface. Wrap foot or keep it in a Clean bed of shavings..Dog crate..I hate to give up but it's a bit grim....
Hmmm...Usually it is quite costly to Vet for this infection...Be prepared to make a hard decision quickly for the Duck...Sorry but Culling yourself might be an option?..Once it gets into bone and joints it's extremely painful and hard if not impossible to treat...also classified as Bumble foot...
Yikes...The joint is infected as it appears to be in the photo..Once it gets that bad a Vet is needed and even then prognosis is grim....Sorry...Poor Duck...
