    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    Miss Lydia; thankyou. I hope so too. I think the Baytril may be working, or maybe I feel more relaxed thinking its been taken out of my hands in a sense as the anti biotics are attempting to fight this now. Ken really does not like taking the Baytril, as she has 1.5ml syringed twice a day. We...

    Ken has an existing problem with what we thought was EYP but now think its a water balloon. We did try to drain her the other day but got nothing. Her breathing has been really bad today when she sits down. Thus being because the fluid build up pushes up on her lungs. After trying again we...

    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    Thanks He said the swelling on the foot will be scar tissue building up. He also said Tricide-Neo treatment and Betadine/sugar treatment have the same effects. Hes not a great believer in packing wounds with anything as I said some people have packed with Neosporin.

    What is Vetrycin? We took Ken to the vets yesterday, and were very fortunate to see a vet who has worked with agriculture before. He praised me on my bandaing techniques and my bravery for performing the surgery. He was happy with what he saw and prescribes 3 weeks of antibiotics (Baytril), and...

    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    Well I did it and Im sorry there wasnt any batteries in the camera to take pics. I got myself a craft scalpel and cut into the top of her foot. You could almost see the cheesy stuff trying to push its way out. After the first small cut, there was blood which worried me, but hubby held her...

    Vet suggestion for non-invasive bumblefoot cure

    Hi All. Im in the Uk and cannot get hold of TRICIDE-NEO. Can anyone tell me if it is the same as POTTASSIUM PERMANGANATE? My chicken has bumblefoot in both feet. One foot has two scabs, one with a swelling. This one i had soaked and taken off the scab and 'scraped inside as no plug came out...
