bumblefoot

Right to the point as in the title: I've learned the hard way that traction/grip tape can cause serious bumblefoot eventually. The problematic part of the tape is a clear plastic layer that, in at least the brands I used, becomes brittle when cold and likes to curl when the black coating is worn...

I have a hen that was nearly fully recovered from heat stroke last week who is now limping on her right foot. She’s staying in her coop and refuses to come out. It’s 99 fahrenheit today and I really don’t want her in there today… I’ll get pictures of her foot.

When it rains, it pours.. I have so many issues going on with my normally healthy chickens 😖 I always turn to this site for help. My buff Orpington has been having pain when she walks. She has very mild swelling between the middle and outside toes on both feet. She had bumble foot scabs, I...

Hello, I am treating a goose with bumblefoot. I have been soaking her foot twice a day. I don't want to cut into her foot because I don't think the infection is very bad. I did get some of it out today but I'm having a terrible time keeping her foot bandaged. I plan on soaking her some more...

Hello All!!! New to forum but have used many many times. Thanks for all the great info! I have a fairly young rooster with what I would assume to be an early case of Bumblefoot but I am not sure so I want to double check what yall think. I tried searching online but all the info includes the...

Hello, My Dominique hen In Albis seems to be having trouble. She was broody for about a week or more some weeks ago and is no longer broody. I found out she has bumble and have been treating it. Today I saw yellow stuff on her feet and legs what could that be? Is she shedding her scales? She is...

Hello, a couple weeks ago I discovered a pretty big bumblefoot on Gwen, my two year old Welsh Harlequin. I did a surgery exactly a week ago and dug out lots of hard white bits of infection. I couldn't see very far inside her foot but I was confident that I had gotten everything. Where before the...

Hello! One of my hens has a mild case of bumble and is obsessive with the wrap of her foot. Well, I wrapped her up fresh this morning and when I went to give her a fresh wrap before bed, the wrap was gone! I looked through the run and the yard to no avail. It doesn’t mean for sure that she ate...

I have a Lavender Orpington that was recently broody, has since hatched her chicks and is still separated with them. They are sleeping in a small crate but free range all day. There are two black spots on her foot that I don’t really know what it is. There is no swelling and their living...

I can’t find any photos of what healing Bumblefoot looks like. It’s been two weeks since I removed the black scab off both feet of these two ladies. The scab seems dark brown for the most part. One lady still has some redness I’ve read that some people say “healed in 5 days!” Is it normal to be...

My favorite boy started limping yesterday. I think he has it on both feet. I have read about treating it, but I will definitely have questions if someone confirms that it is bumblefoot.

This was really hard to get a photo of, but it’s this normal looking?There’s a spiky texture to the bottom of her foot and a small soft lump in the center. Is it bumblefoot or something else or totally normal?

Hello, I was observing my ducks feet and noticed a bump on one that was walking in front of me. She isn’t limping, but her bump is big! Please let me know how to identify this so I can help her!

I have two pekin ducks that are eating/drinking/laying just fine but I noticed these dark areas /callouses on their feet. I've been doing Epsom salt baths the past few days and spraying/wrapping with blu kote antimicrobial but seeing no change. Wondering if any of these dark spots are bumblefoot...

I check my Muscovies weekly to maybe bi weekly at most for foot and other issues and never noticed anything out of the ordinary until today. Is this Bumblefoot? Is it possible for it to happen in so many spots on both feet so quickly? She was holding one foot up a little at one point when...

Recently the humidity has been harder to control in my duck house than usual, and now my boys feet don’t look good. I’m assuming the humidity + cold has done it, or helped do it ? I don’t fully believe it’s bumble foot as some of these cut like things have a scaly / ridged sort of texture. I...

Male call duck hops around on one foot while his other is curled up. His eyes are also watering, making his face crusty. It started a week ago and at first, I thought it was bumblefoot but now I'm not so sure. I've been soaking his foot in salt water every day for the past week and it hasn't...

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 all, I’ve just taken my male Pekin to the vets to get some antibiotics as he has bumblefoot (again😭). He was weighed at 2.7kg and the vet has prescribed him clindamycin 88mg. She’s put it down for him to have a tablet and a half twice a day, morning and night. Does this seem an excessive...

Yesterday, I noticed one of my hens more stationary than usual -- not limping but still less mobile. After looking her over I noticed she had two small black spots on her feet, which I believe to be bumblefoot. This is my first time dealing with bumblefoot in my flock. I soaked her in an...
