about to preform bumblefoot surgery---any tips befor doing so?

[Mutchi]

Morning from sunny England!

Did this happen just now as you were posting or at some time before?

Chicken pus isn't yellow and oozy like human pus. It sets hard. Sometimes it is difficult to find inside the bumblefoot because it sticks to the tissues around it. Hence needing to dig around sometimes.

You really need to post some pics as we've asked. Or we are advising blind to some extent. Do it when you change the dressings.

i will post pics today but i need schoolwork to be done first so maybe areound noon in MT and her vet wrap fell off so i will need to redress the foot and put on a steadyer vetwrap!

Did you do the 'surgery'?
That's a gnarly wound, looks nice and clean tho.

No we didn't, my mother wasn't home and we can't do it alone, I mean, what if something went wrong! Yes we cleaned it really well!

It looked like it had already opened up anyway, so surgery was not needed.

Ok!

so mother wouldnt let me do it inside but i have a little table outside now for the prosiedure!

turns out, before i desided to do this alone. i had my mom feel and examine the 'bumblefoot' and she had to look into it more so she did cut into it but turns out that it was i normal scar and no puss or anything in it but it was infected. it started to bleed so we put it in the vetwrap, now i need to know how to cure a infected scar?

Thank you for the photos! It's nice to finally see it after 6 pages!
So the foot was cut - your Mom cut it open correct?
I would give the foot a daily cleaning. Soak it if it's starting to get inflammed.
Check it daily. Apply your triple antibiotic ointment, then wrap.
You may want to wrap a bit differently so it stays on. In the video she shows how to wrap, just extend your wrapping on the toes. (Put some gauze over the scab).
You can cut your wrap into more narrow strips, it's easier to work with. I've had to do all toes, foot and up the leg for injury - narrow strips work well. Be sure not to wrap too tight and leave yourself room to be able to cut them off.

Oh, I missed that part.
Would have been good to see it before it was cut.

Agreed. A lot of times no cutting is required.
