    Bent and swollen lump in chicken’s toe

    Our chicken has had bumble foot a while back which we treated at home with epson salt and bandaged it. A couple weeks after she developed this lump in her toe and her toe started bending sideways. Could it have been due to the bumble foot, or is she deficient in anything nutritious wise? She...

    Recurring bumblefoot— help!

    One of my ducks has a recurring case of bumblefoot. She previously had it in January of this year— I soaked her feet twice a day in Epsom salts but the scabs never came off & I decided to not pry them out. I ended up switching from Epsom salts to chlorhexidine and it helped SO MUCH— she was able...

    Does this look like it is healing after removing bumblefoot

    Hi, please help. I removed bumblefoot from two feet of my chicken. Used Prid for 5 days, then epsom salt soak for 20 min and removed. The large one did not have acorn like infection attached, it was more like puss. I squeezed pretty hard and it looked like it was gone. These pics are from today...

    Tricide Neo Bumblefoot/Distilled water

    Is it necessary to have distilled water to use Tricide Neo? I live in a small town and having trouble finding it right now… could change next week (life of living in a rural town), but would love to start treatment sooner than later.

    Bumble foot - is this how it should be healing?

    Hi everyone- I need some advice. I have a nearly 10 year old chicken who was attacked by a racoon 2 months ago (all in the coop were injured or killed). At first she showed no outward injury- we thought she had been shoved off the roost in the panic of the other birds and it seemed the ankle...

    Bumblefoot... quick question. Please help! Thank you!

    I know bumblefoot is brought up a lot here, but I have a very quick question. I've dealt with it before and I've been successful. However, I have a chicken who has the round, black scab on the bottom of the foot. After a long soak, we've removed the scab and tried to expel the kernel, but no...

    My Brahma is limping

    Hi, I’ve just gotten chickens for the first time. My Brahma hen is about 4 months old and she has started limping recently. It’s gotten worse over the past couple days so I’ve moved her inside so the other chickens won’t pick on her(I don’t think they will anyways because she’s the largest in...

    Traction/grip tape can cause 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...

    Injured hen who is barely able to walk? **HELP!!**

    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.

    Bumblefoot and doxycycline

    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...

    Persistent bumblefoot, going crazy

    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...

    Hen ate vet wrap

    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...

    Is this bumblefoot?

    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.

    Bumblefoot or no?

    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?
