    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    Quote: This is off-topic, but watch your chickens for parasites. Pine straw is just filled with migratory bird debris because of where it comes from. The only time I ever had chickens get northern fowl mites I was using pine straw. Too bad, because they do seem to like it.

    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    Hey Guys! Been a year and three months since I first discovered bumblefoot. With the help of multiple pairs of boots from Indoorducks, daily to twice weekly soakings for a month with Tricode-Neo and applications of triple-antibiotic when I didn't have time for a soak (more for my rooster with...

    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    Just to be absolutely clear, Tricide Neo is NOT some super antibiotic of doom. It is made of three well-known organic compounds that work well in conjunction-- kind of like triple antibiotic ointment. It should be absolutely fine to eat the eggs, etc. There's nothing systemic going on with food...

    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    Quote: Having not done surgery myself, I am no one to help. Have you treated in anyway before? Are you sure there wasn't a small kernel on the inside? It seems it might have been trying to heal itself by enclosing it in callous. Sorry about the surgery not working out. Quote: My rooster...

    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    Quote: I still say that isn't too bad for Tricide-Neo to work. Chickenlady08 admits to having no experience with the Tricide-Neo, and while it does take a bit to work, it will work if you're following the directions. I had my vet tell me that my rooster would lose toes, no doubt. He told me...

    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    Quote: I don't think that spraying Tricide-Neo will work, as this is not a superficial open infection as it is often with Koi. I would suggest doing full 5-7 minute soaks, or you may just be wasting your time and money, and indeed, you make make the bacteria resistant to Tricide-Neo, thus...

    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    IT WORKS! Thanks SO MUCH for the idea: thank your vet, too, ArizonaNessa! I hope this thread provides hope for others who have just been faced with the horrour of doing surgery on their animal without pain relief and with the potential of reinfection afterwards! Today I was able to push out...

    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    Quote: Thanks for the good wishes! But if the vet, who has worked on bumblefoot before, said it was too far gone, I really doubt I can do the surgery, especially without the threads. I had wondered what had happened to the thread I had referenced a month ago-- I realize now it has been deleted...

    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    Just got my Tricide Neo because the Koi Outlet from Ebay shipped UPS to USPS. So... from California to North Carolina to California to North Carolina... Three weeks later, my Cream Brabanter is showing signs of what may be cellutitis in his feet, as well, meaning it's going systemic. I just...

    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    I just ordered Tricide-Neo as well. I found the 1 gallon on Ebay for 29.95 shipped-- a little more, but I had money in my Paypal account that I wanted to use. I want to knock this out totally and make sure of it being that, like I said before, I do not want to my antibiotic resistant strains of...

    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    Thanks for that, mdbokc. I'm currently trying grapefruit oil and plan to do so for about a week. So far PROS: Makes the whole coop smell delicious Absorbs rather quickly for less rooster handling time Relatively inexpensive when used as a medicine No soaking or surgery... CONS: Burns like...

    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    The best price I can find on the Tricide-Neo is 30.00 shipped. Has anyone bought this anywhere online for less? I need to see if my local aquarium / pond stores carry it, as well. I'll check around and see. I'm willing to throw the kitchen sink at this bumblefoot. My cream brabanter is such a...

    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    This is VERY interesting to me, as I am having a problem with bumblefoot that I have not seen the likes of doucmented on this board. Most people find it early and pull the plug, but I found it much too late and am not stumbling in the dark. I have a rooster with a very bad petrified case of...
