    Without being able to see and feel the foot myself I can't tell you for sure if I would lance it or not. Sometimes the swelling will go down in a few days if all the infection is out through the bottom, just depends if it has spread to there or if it's just general swelling. I have done it...

    They tolerate it really well. I know it's unpleasant, but it will feel MUCH better with all that infection out. I had a rooster that had it really bad in both feet and it took multiple times to get it all out, over a year to get all healed. That is worst case scenario and NOT the norm. I...

You may need to soak more than once. I also, on occasion, use an instrument like this to dig stuff...

    That is bumblefoot. I have circled the scab/lesion below. You will need to soak the foot in epsom salts for 20 to 30 minutes to soften the scab for removal, then remove any pus from beneath it. You may have to do some pretty firm squeezing to get it all out. Chicken pus is firm like a hard...
