bumble foot

Hey! I’m not sure how to help my duck Holly. She’s been having a lot of leg issues for a while that aren’t resolving with my treatment. First it was bumble foot and a small limp. I took her to the vet and she removed the scab and infection on the bumble, took X-rays of the limpy leg. The x ray...

I’m treating bumble foot with Epsom salt soaks, Chlorhexidine soaks, as well as other things but I need some advice on who you successfully set up a soaking area that they can’t readily drink. I’ve heard people say they use small tubs or bowl or buckets but how do you get them to keep their feet...

Hi everyone, I have a little mule baby girl (half muscovy, half magpie duck) named Eagle who had a scab develop on her big foot pad. I'll post some photos. Last night I gave her a warm epsom salt soak for 30 mins and the scab popped off with some effort, only a tiny pin prick of blood that...

is this bumble foot?? Has anyone had this happen? Or know why just 1 toe? Or what i can do to get her better faster? Update day 4: So today I think I figured out her issue. There is a spot under her nail that is red and everytime I gently touched it she made a tiny low pitched squeal, like it...

Well I couldn't find a Bumble and so I'm looking for help with that buttt, when I was drying her I found Mites or lice I'm...

This is your formal reminder to check your ducks feet, even if they aren’t acting weird!! All of my ducks were walking completely the same, no limping, no weird behavior, no lethargy. I only discovered their bumblefoot upon seeing it while they were swimming. This is pretty severe, and they...

Hi guys our 1 year old rooster is a big guy. But we saw him not walking still eating crowing very alert he just walks a little and lays down majority of the day here are some pictures of the bottom of his feet any thoughts ?

Hi yall A few days back I picked my pekin Munchkin up and noticed a swollen nob on the bottom of her foot. It is in the center of her foot with a teeny tiny black scab. On her other foot the skin is swollen around middle toe. I assume this is bumblefoot or at least on her left foot (the one...

I’ve posted about this chicken before, here’s the last one for reference: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/could-use-some-more-help-with-ongoing-bumble-foot-issues.1490334/#post-24852871 Her bumble foot infection is gone, I was able to pull the plug out and heal it. But she still has a...

This particular hen did have bumblefoot in her left foot pad and one of her right foot toes which I took care of. However, the pad of the right foot has been swollen for some time and I can't find a spot to make me think it's bumblefoot. She walks on it, but with a limp and sits down a lot. So...

Hello! I’m hoping some of you with more experience can help me. I have a duck with a bad case of bumblefoot, that I’m a few days into trying to treat. I’ve been doing epsom baths, applying vetericyn and betadine, and wrapping for three days. Today the scab felt soft enough to pull off, so I...

Hi all, First time owner, first time poster. My fiance and I inherited chickens from the house we just moved to. One of them, Little Bear, got bumblefoot and I took her to the vet. This was the 1st. We were given all the meds but because of COVID, I wasn't allowed in to see how to administer...

This is my first post and the reason I made my account. Basically one of my hens is suffering from bumblefoot that she got while roaming around. My hens aren't used to being picked up since I never had to. They spend their time roaming around a huge yard and tree area so they don't often...

I was cleaning this pretty ones eye and noticed she was walking on her extra toe then immediately realized how swollen it was so i gave her an Epsom salt soak and cleaned out some of the puss from the nail.. "socket" but nothing much at all. Gave the toe a gentle squeeze and tried massaging...

Previous post: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/help-with-bumble-foot.1487829/#post-24804028 I’m having the same issue with 2 chickens. One has it on one foot and the other has both feet. The main problem I’m having right now is that all the infected feet are still hard and swollen but...

My girls have always been prone to bumble foot, therefore I have treated them quite a few times. However; about 2-3 weeks ago, one of my hen’s feet were swollen. I soaked her feet in epsom salt 2xs a day for a week or so. No improvement. One of my others hens has a slightly swollen foot too…I...

I have a beautiful brahma / rhode island rooster who is about three years old. We noticed him kicking his right leg out behind him a lot. Almost like he was being irritated by something. I had recently moved him into a new run while I added new hens so I thought maybe he was just being sassy...

previous post on this chicken for context: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/advice-on-residual-bumble-foot-problems.1486032/ So since this post i’ve been doing epsom salt soaks and applying prid. Today I pulled out the plug. I’m a little frustrated because the vet said the...
