Thank you, @Lillith37 ! That was very helpful information!
I will do as you recommend, keep treating and wrapping, but I'm going to leave her scab alone.
Thank you so much!
Thanks @pennyJo1960 ! I did those things, but was unable to find a core. Just felt cruel to continue poking around in her foot pad. Bandaged her up with antibiotic. I also gave her Enrotex yesterday, since she's been acting so lethargic and unlike herself.
Anyone have any thoughts? I just want to know if it's possible for a chicken to have scabs on feet without it being bumblefoot.
I gave my chicken an epsom soak, removed the scab, but there was nothing to clean out inside her foot, again.
They are bandanged up now.
I would really like to know...
These were taken before I washed her feet, so there's a little mud on them. She's been lethargic, but it's also been very very hot here in North Carolina.
I have Enrotex and plan to administer to her crop today.
Any thoughts? Is this clearly bumblefoot?
Hello All,
I am wondering if it's possible for a chicken to have scabs on the bottoms of her feet without it being bumblefoot.
She doesn't seem to have any of the other symptoms...no redness or swollenness. When I've soaked her feet in Epsom salts and peeled off the scabs, there isn't anything...
