Next installment.... Here's that same foot on Aug. 17 It's definitely looking healthier to me. I'm continuing to use Vetericyn twice a day even though she puts up a fuss whenever I wash her feet. Silly chicken! I no longer wrap her feet (sorry twocrowsranch). If I'm wrong on this point...
Another Update:
I've switched over to using Vetericyn Wound & Infection Care HydroGel Spray. So, rather than soaking in epsom salt water then packing with neosporin, I am washing with soapy water (using orvus) then drying and spraying with Vetericyn. Before making the switch I did a lot of...
Ok, here are her latest pictures. These are 4 days after the last pictures in post #12. There's not a big change to see in the pics, but in person I feel it's looking good & a bit better. :-)
Thank you again for helping evaluate the situation and sharing your experiences. I hope others will...
Just to show you the progress I'm posting 2 more pics of my girl's feet. These were taken this evening which is two days after the first pictures I posted. I think they're looking better! The swelling has gone down and the wounds look healthy.

I can see why other people are using products like Vetricyn and TricideNeo to avoid creating...
FiveLadyBugs... That's really good information, thank you very much for sharing. How long have you been soaking/treating/bandaging him? Do the antibiotics continue for a period of time beyond that? The "how long" part of the treatments aren't really clear to me yet. You can tell I'm...
Hi again froggiesheins,
I didn't say in my original post (silly me), that after the surgery I have soaked her feet in epsom salts and reapplied the neosporin and bandages multiple times. I'll be doing it again today. It has weighed on my mind that I never found the "plug" people talk about. I...
Hi,
A week ago I received a young pullet that's been laying for a few weeks (I think). A couple days later I discovered she had a serious case of bumble foot on both feet. Thank goodness I found lots of good pics and videos here on BYC! So I did my best to cut out the infection, although I...
