Absolutely right. That's what makes bumblefoot such a difficult problem. Few vets see chickens, and the online information is confusing, largely anecdotal, and provided mostly by people who've had no medical training. I would not fault either of you for doing what you did. Mostly I just wanted to highlight the OP's post, to point out: 1. Not every case requires surgery, 2. Surgery comes with its own risks, and 3. This is a painful procedure for the chicken. People should know all of that when exploring the options.I did call the Vet and talk to him! Then I called another! All I got was "your chicken has what'? not sure if we do that......wait I will get the doc" finally I asked how much? and I got well not really sure! Not really sure??? uggggg
But there are so many different "suggestions" its overwhelming!!!
