    Can anyone help me figure out how to get this red lump to a head. I have a rooster who’s got a problematic foot. I had done soaks in salt and wrapping his foot and finally got the pus ball out of the bottom of his foot and it came out of the BACK toe. BUT he still has this red spot like this...

    Bumblefoot – is this a good treatment plan?

    I was giving my hens some worms as a treat today and noticed one of my girls had a little lump on the upper webbing of her foot. I then looked under her foot and saw she has a small black dot on her underfoot. Clearly she has bubblefoot, but I assume it's quite early since she's not limping or...

    Persistent bumblefoot

    I have two quail that I’ve been battling bumblefoot on for 2-3 months! I’ve done twice a day soaks, minor surgery and wrapping, and even antibiotics for one.

    Bumblefoot or something else

    Hoping someone can help me out with some guidance.. So I found out the problem my female had with her leg was possibly bumblefoot. So I did epsom salt soak and removed the bumble, cleaned it out, did Neosporin and bandaged her up. The next day I saw she removed the bandage. So I re-soaked but...

    Bumblefoot

    I am having my first Bumblefoot experience. Can we eat the eggs? Do we really need to sanitize the entire coop? What precautions do I need to take to not transmit staph to my family. Thanks!
