Another newbie wondering if this is bumblefoot

[songbuddha]

View attachment 1518413 Pippin, my 10 month old Leghorn, just started limping today, favoring her left foot a lot, and just wanting to sit. She was dirtier than normal, so I gave her a soak and soaked her feet to do a good inspection. Although she is favoring her left, I am wondering about bumblefeet in both feet. I tried to get her to take 1/2 an aspirin, but her sisters ate it before she would take it. Eating, drinking, any laying normally.

She is suffering with bumblefoot. Do an on site search for several good threads on treatment. Good luck in clearing it up.

Well it’s been a long few weeks of soaking and skin peelings and dressings and isolating poor Pippen. We finally ended up at a chicken vet who said it wasn’t a severe case but that Pippin needs oral anabiotics and not surgery. I had not read that as an option online. And after three days she’s already starting to clear up finally. She’s been a trooper, sometimes even falling asleep in my arms during soakings. LOL.
