My 2 year old Easter Egger, Petunia, has bumblefoot. Two days ago I soaked her foot in an epsom salt bath and then made an incision. I dug deep into her foot and could not find a kernel. I did find stringy bits and pus, and removed as much as I could. I sprayed Vetericyn spray into the wound...
Okay, so long story short this is my first ever case of bumble foot. Which shouldn't surprise me since Sapphire here seems to be my disaster baby. Everything that can go wrong, goes wrong with her. For instance, no she's not a bantam, she just came out that small.
Anyways I'm 99.99% certain...
My beloved pet rooster I just found sitting down by my house sitting down in the grass.
I went to pick him up and move him to his coop.
He is now standing but is shaking from head to toe.
He has had bumble foot for about a month. I've tried treating it more than once, but it wouldn't come out...
Somehow i can never escape bumblefoot, however with having a busy work weeks i just haven't noticed that one of my girls seems to have a case of severe bumblefoot?
I cant feel that its hard at the top its mostly squishy but there is like just one spot that is hard enough. The bottom also is soft...
My chicken, Thyme's, scales have turned very dark. It looks like there is a lot of dirt between them, but a month ago her scales were healthy. I assumed scaly leg mite, so I have been applying Vaseline and doing Epsom salt soaks.
She also has bumblefoot. I took her to the vet 2.5 weeks ago to...
I found my girl a week ago at the edge of the coop with crusty watery eyes, at the time , after spending said week apart from her sisters and constant eye washing her eye did get better and is better however her limp did not go away
I believed it to be a broken bone and with a pencil and...
I have some hens I treated for bumblefoot and it’s obvious they’re in pain. I’m going to compound some meloxicam for them. I’m planning on following guidelines of 0.5 mg/kg once daily dosing.
Is Orablend (compounding syrup) safe for chickens?
Or do I need to track down propylene glycol and 1%...
Hello all,
We've been treating one of our hens with bumblefoot for about a week now. It looks like she has a moderate-to-bad case of it (if I'm wrong please correct me on what stage it looks to be at). So far we haven't been able to get any of the kernel out. We soak her feet in warm water high...
Hey folks. So bumblefoot is one ailment I've always struggled to treat within my flock, and I've never been able to find a way to do it successfully after many difficult (and mildly traumatic attempts) but finally, I've discovered the secret. A, dare I say it, EASY way! I've done this on 3 feet...
Hi guys..My magpie and pekin ducks both have bumble feet...They can walk and they seems fine but I want to treat these scars on their feet as fast as possible since it can infected the bones...I tried to wash the scars with water and salt and then put some antibiotic ointment on them but they...
Hi there. I've had my flock for a few years now and bumblefoot cases have been far and few between. Today I went and checked my birds, and I probably have like 5-6 with it now! What did I do wrong? I try to keep the coop clean, it's usually not muddy (unless excess rain, and it's very large! I...
We are in the middle of a massively awful heat wave in Texas. Temps are in the hundreds with heat index in the 115-120s. To help my girls, I put out shallow pans of cold water and my main hen, Pepper stands in it a lot during the day. She already has bumblefoot starting on both feet 😢 It’s not...
Hey...I have a problem. Cluckers has some growth on her foot. I'm not 100% positive what is it, but I think she has bumble foot. Is it something else or is it bumblefoot? I need to treat this. 😢
Also...whatever it is, how do I treat it? She got cut by something too. It's only on the bump. The...
I’ve attached a photo of bumblefoot I discovered today. I’ve never had a chicken with bumblefoot before, so I’m uncertain how to tell if I will need to remove it with a scalpel, or if soaking and wrapping daily will allow it to heal.
Hi everyone,
2 days ago I spotted that one of my barter browns toes were bent. Im sure this is new as Im almost positive I would have spotted it earlier if it was already there. Yesterday I saw a bubble on top of her foot. I am assuming she has bumblefoot. This would be my first time dealing...
My 1 year old jumbo pekin has a black scab, possibly Bumblefoot, on the bottom of her foot and some swelling around the top/ankle. She is babying the foot immensely and prefers to sit or lay down and she is picking up the foot and tucking it under her wing. I know it’s very very sore as we have...
Hi all, I have a Rhode Island Red hen who has bumble foot. I was sick and hadn't been out to check on them for a few days. Her foot is swollen to twice the size it normally is. I found what I believe is the scab. I have never treated bumble foot before but I have read a lot about it. I am going...
