    Possible bumblefoot

    I recently posted about a chicken that was limping . I think it’s bumblefoot or some kind of infection , it has seemed to form a scab that I took off as much as I could . I’m scared to really cut into it but it doesn’t ooze pus. It does bleed really well though . I have been doing Epsom soaks...

    My hen has a large round mass in her foot

    For about two weeks now, My hen has had a large swelling in her foot. I'm assuming it's bumble foot, but there is no visible scab. The swelling is also visible on top of her foot. She walks around holding that foot up. Laying eggs fine, eating and drinking as well.

    Grangrene in quail?

    one of my hens has had bumblefoot for several months and the treatment isnt working and now it looks like the foot is dying and she is walking on one foot. Is it too late for antibiotics or will i need to amputate/euthanize.

    Bumblefoot surgery necessary?

    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.

    What is this on hen’s foot?

    She is a 5 year old lavender orpington. She has some other health issues, but is doing ok. This has been on her foot for about 4-5 months. She will limp for a while then be fine for weeks. It has never spread or changed. No other chickens have foot issues. I’d love anyone’s help, but I am going...

    Really advanced bumblefoot?

    Hi there, I've been staying at a farm for about three weeks that has a small flock of ducks for eggs (khaki campbells, runners, and Welsh harlequins). As soon as I got here I noticed that one had a pretty large abscess or bumble or something on the top of her foot. She's not limping, but she...

    Bumblefoot

    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...

    Injured Foot

    My 1.5 year old SLW hen is limping and not putting much weight in that foot while on the roost bar. We’ve brought her in and soaked it in Epsom salts 2 nights in a row. Tonight she did not want to put that foot into the water. We’ve also used gauze to put chlorohexidine on it to clean. The pads...

    Bumblefoot treatment

    My duck has been walking normally up until yesterday when I noticed she was limping quite harshly. It definitely appears she has Bumblefoot, she has the black scab on the bottom foot pad. I did an Epsom salt bath, and some skin peeled off and was bleeding but nothing was coming out so we sprayed...
