Well I think my hen is going to need to be culled. This is just getting worse and worse. Antibiotics are not helping. Soaking her foot in salt water not helping. Anticeptic and bandage not helping. Draining not helping. If anything her foot is worse. She has developed sores that ooze. We clean and coat and bandage and it just keeps getting worse. She now has several soars on the top of her feet that just ooze. The swelling is huge. No longer hot but just huge. It has gotten bigger in the last week. I don't think the antibiotics did crap personally. I can't afford a vet bill to fix this. That would pretty much break the budget for a good long while. The last bill from the avian vet was 200 to deal with a broken feather. I cannot imagine what this would cost.
Is there anything I have not tried? She is still eating, still drinking, still hobbling around. I am frustrated beyond belief. Nothing we do helps. She just continues to get worse. I know it hurts her to walk now. My husband says its getting time to think about culling before she is really in massive pain.
