Anyone know what this is? Rock? Scab?

You were never able to get a core out of it?

I'd try drawing salve or clear Iodine.

I think i was? I was able to get that black thing out and even deeper down, i dug until she bled. I think there’s still some hard pus in there but a very little little bit. Do you mean putting salve or clear iodine on it? or in it?

 

[Wyorp Rock]

Yes, a drawing salve or clear Iodine to pull out some of the infection.

Or if possible, another vet visit. This is going on over 2months and not resolved, she's still limping, and you are still having to wrap/tend to the foot.

I’m new to this so idk how long the bumble foot takes to heal completely. Today she’s spending her time in the coop and not going outside today. I’ll try the drawing salve.

Is this a good one to use?

 

[Wyorp Rock]

You could use that or Prid.

I ended up getting the one i posted because that’s the one my TSC had in stock. How do i apply it?

 

[Wyorp Rock]

Apply like you would any ointment, wrap the foot and leave it for a couple of days. Change wrappings if they get wet or soiled. When you take the wrappings off, see if the infection has been drawn to the surface so you can press it on out.

I noticed this on my chickens foot today. Can anyone help me figure out what it is? I tried to get it off with tweezers but it’s either stuck there or it’s in her foot. She’s been lifting up her foot so it is bothering her

Bumblefoot. Seen this in my hens before.

 

[DaisyBuff]

Oh, now I see you know the problem, I'll read to catch up.

How long did it take yours to go away?

It took about 2 or three weeks for her wound to actually look like it was back to normal almost, but I treated my hens wound by first soaking her foot in Epsom salt water for 10mins keeping a warm towel around her and then I used tweezers to pull the ugly ( HUGE blackhead looking scab off.) Luckily my hen behaved. Then I gently squeezed her foot around the wound to get the pus out. This is important. You don't want the infection to get worse. I don't remember the brand this was years ago, but I used an antibacterial spray on it after the wound was good and clean and free of pus, wrapped her foot in a wrap for about a week. I had her in another pen during this period to avoid other chickens pecking her bandage off to prevent the wound getting dirt and chicken poo in it getting infected again. That's what I did.
