    Post Bumblefoot infection

    We had a hen with bumblefoot on both feet. One had a big "corn kernal" removed by cutting the foot open. The other had it removed with some tweezers and less surgery. We soaked in Epsom salts before and after the surgeries. She no longer has any puss or infection coming out of the foot, even...

    Is this bumble foot?

    Is this bumble foot? If so, what stage and what am I supposed to do to treat it at this stage? How would I know it’s improving or is it supposed to grow first before it gets better? Just noticed it today for the first time. She’s walking and acting fine. She was in chicken jail for 24 hours for...

    Bumblefoot?

    Hello! My brown Amerucana started limping today and I’m worried it might be bumble foot. When we adopted her (about a year ago) she always had a little bump on her foot, but today was the first day she seemed bothered by it. Anything i can do for her myself is so so welcome. Epsom salt...

    Bumblefoot? I need help!

    Does anything about this look like bumble foot to you? She is limping pretty bad and it’s only gotten worse over the last 3 days and I’ve been treating it twice a day. I don’t see any scab or anything. I’ve felt all up her leg, it doesn’t seem to be broken and feels pretty normal. I’m at a...

    Online Veterinarian advice

    Has anyone ever used an online poultry veterinarian for their geese or ducks? How was your experience with them, cost, and were you able to get a prescription from them for an antibiotic? I have a goose with a few bumblefoot lumps because he is a dunderhead and was trying to fight with some...

I treated it with polysporin, preparation H and a neoprene duck shoe changed before bed every night for 3 weeks. Pretty much all of the swelling went down and and the scab was super tiny...

    Swollen, Red Legs, from Mites?

    Hi, I have 4 birds and noticed a fowl mite infestation a few days ago so I applied permethrin powder to birds and coop with plan to reapply in 1 week. Today Onyx (dark Brahma) appears lethargic, not active, I watched for a bit, no eating/drinking/pooping. I thought it was mite side effects, so I...

    Bumblefoot??

    This morning I noticed an abscess on my light brahma’s foot, and I was wondering if it’s bumblefoot?? She didn’t show signs of pain or limping and when I pressed lightly on it she didn’t seem to be bothered by it. I also didn’t see the “plug” that abscesses due bumblefoot have, it’s just a firm...

    Pekin with bumble foot

    This is Angelina, she is a three year old pekin. We got her from Murdoch's so I have had her since she was a two day old duckling. She has had bumble foot for over a year now.

    Another bumblefoot question

    Hi, I have combed the discussion boards but I haven’t seen a post with a spot like this. My 10-month old Pekin has a spot like this in the middle of both her feet. My thought is that it’s bumblefoot but it’s not swollen, she doesn’t limp and there’s no black dot. I haven’t had ducks before so...

    Ducks keep drinking Epsom salt

    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...

    Check your ducks feet!!

    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...
