While you are at it, would you put up a picture of the sore? It matters.

I bought mine at Wally World [WalMart], I don't think it matters where you get it, just use it.

Luck...but if you do this, you won't need it. Just remember, if the leg feels warm get the bird onto an antibiotic right away. Staph is a really nasty infection and if it gets to the bones, it's almost impossible to get rid of.

I didn't, I just used the colorless iodine.

WalMart is where I found mine. Now a side note here...for chickens, the treatment times are different. Instead of the 4-6 days in between for ducks and geese, you need to apply the treatment on checken and other scaled fowl, every 3-4 days, the 3rd being the best for a bad infection...

They can get Bumbles from scratches, puntures, rubs, etc.. In a lot of cases, you never can figure out why. Staph is the usual cause of the infections and is something found everywhere in the enviroment and also on their skin, as well as our own. Why do some of the scratches we get just go...

The first time I found the bumbles, I put the bird into the tub to clean and soak. I gave her a good while in there as she was enjoying herself and i was in the middle of things here. There was no time to do anything for her foot that day as I already knew that I would have to cut it out, so I...

Good for you! I have no idea what the Manuka oil is, but if it worked...great!!!! I am for anything that takes the pain and upset out of treating these. Birds have enough to worry about without us picking and prodding.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/805766/swelling-on-ducks-toe-picture-urgent/90#post_11721832 I would really like you to read the above thread I have linked to. I have not had the time to finish adding all of my info and pictures to this thread here, but have taken what time I have had to...

RussianChickens, I totally agree with you about the saline solution and have a saline nasal spray in my med kit for just that reason. To your recipe for the saline solution, if you add 1/8 tsp of baking soda, you've buffered it and can then use it in the eyes without causing pain.

I've also read that peroxide can cause pre-cancerous changes in skin cells. Then I wonder how we've made it this far with all of these 'bad' things in our lives. I get an infection in a cut, the first thing I reach for is peroxide. To my mind, it doesn't matter if I lose a few healthy skin...

On July 1st, I found one of my Pekin ducks with what I would consider a bad case of Bumblefoot. Both feet were involved and I'm ashamed to say, the only way I found it was she was limping. One foot had 7 and the other had 3. I was able to grab her and bring her into the house and put her into...
