I need to get some updated photos, but after returning from being gone for 6 days I caught this little one up and her feet look way better. The growths are no longer sticking out the side of her feet when she's standing. It took me a minute of studying the three little BAs to figure out which...
I took her booties off today, I think we're making progress still. All the little red sores spots seem to be gone, but it seems some of her little foot pads down her toes are still extra large?
I trimmed a little of the dead crispy stringers off of the worst back toe, I could have trimmed...
She's cruising around just fine today, even flying up and roosting with her little booties on. They are staying on really well so I'm going to leave them until tomorrow, or maybe the next day. I'm really hoping that we are going to get her completely healed.
I think she is trying to get...
I just checked the chicks one last time before bed, the little BA's are all huddled together as usual but this little one is back to unhappy chattering and trying to wiggle under the other two, almost like she's cold, but she's the only one doing it and the heat lamp is on, it's going to be in...
@Hen Pen Jem @Wyorp Rock the booties are getting better! I used vet wrap, maybe 4" wide and cut both edges into straps with about 1/4" uncut in the middle, then kinda did a bread bread around her toes then topped it off with with a round of electrical tape. I did everything fairly loose...
Thanks! I really want to do good for all of my chickens. I think they are looking better, definitely still softer compared to a week ago. I let her stand in some colloidal silver for about a minute, they're drying now and I'll try a vet wrap bootie tonight. I accidently grabbed the wrong...
I rinsed her feet and let them dry in the house, got some photos, took forever for me to think of putting her on the glass table but that worked WAY better than all the ways I was trying to holder her and get the camera to focus and get a photo. I've put ointment on her feet and wrapped them...
Ok! I have some of that. I used to drive a lot traveling to different states for work and saw a few wrecks the last one was really bad and 5 or 6 of us stopped and no one had a first aid kit, I have one now for each vehicle supplied with stuff my brother, an ER nurse, recommended including the...
😲 it just dawned on me, you helped me with my little RIR a few weeks back when she had an abscess on her shoulder! She's doing great, never even slowed down her growth, and no odd feathering. You can't tell anything ever happened.
I'm hoping I can get some better pictures of the little ones...
@Hen Pen Jem I have read and re-read your post at least 10 times! So much information! Hallelujah it has a name, I've been searching for it for days. I've used Bag Balm the last two nights, antibiotic ointment in the mornings, and vetericyn at noon, and this morning her feet felt softer.
I...
I'm planning to keep using some ointment 2x/day for at least for another 5 - 7 days, since it's not really inflammation/ swelling I'm thinking it may be slow to heal. It almost seems that the spikes would need to slough off, but we'll see.
Is there anything I could be doing with a vitamin /...
A week ago we moved them out to the screen porch, its about 14'x26' concrete and then they have about 24 sqft inside the boxes with shavings. It is not at all what we had planned when we got them and it's temporary, we just had something come up and we are in limbo for a few more weeks. They...
I'm not sure if much progress is being made, I was thinking that maybe it was a touch better, but she has one spot on the back toe of her right foot that looks worse. I had put the ointment on, let her go then decided to take photos, hence the shine and some fuzz sticking to her feet. I've...
Thanks so much, I'll keep doing foot soaks and ointment every day until they are healed. She's definitely not impressed with this soaking business. I'm glad it's only one and not all of them!
I noticed earlier today that one of the little BA chicks had something stuck to her foot, I caught her and tried to take a look as she was flailing her feet, and noticed that things didn't look right. She had little bumps under her feet and these thin fingery things sticking out of her soles...
