I soaked her feet for a few minutes. Hope these are better. I have her inside with me for nowCan you clean it so we can get a closer view? She might have a bumble, an infection in her toe.
good, thanks. See the puncture mark on the side of the toe? that's your culprit.I soaked her feet for a few minutes. Hope these are better. I have her inside with me for now
I kind of wondered. Any ideas what we need to do for her? I cleaned her feet and put ointment on it. We kept her inside for a half hour before I carried her back to the coop for the night.good, thanks. See the puncture mark on the side of the toe? that's your culprit.
Keep soaking her foot in warm epsom salt water (like half hour at a time), you might need to open it up but we'll see if that works.I kind of wondered. Any ideas what we need to do for her?

She liked the floating treats but was not amused by her spa day (Epsom salt soak).Okay. Thank you!
Thank you!Bumblefoot in chickens is pretty simple to treat, not to fear. It’s only badly dangerous when you leave it and don’t try to help. Keep soaking her daily and see if it makes progress. You could also wrap her foot to insure she doesn’t hurt the bumble more. For my chickens, I spray the wound with poultry wound spray and then wrap the foot with a small piece of cotton ball on the pad of her foot, covered in wound spray. Its seeming to work well. Good luck!
