Hi everyone...looking for some advice. My black sex link has had recurring bumblefoot for months. I had it under control until recently. When she first showed symptoms I was soaking with a chlorhexidine solution and applying neosporin at night. Eventually I tried cutting away at the black scab and adding peroxide and bandages to the treatment. Also tried Betadine. She's got it on both feet - one is worse than the other. The worse foot is swollen and red so I am keeping the bandages off - though I hate to. I'd love some suggestions. My plan of attack is to keep it covered during the day, wash daily with antibacterial soap and apply neosporin. Leaving uncovered at night. Her roost has a cotton sheet wrapped around it so I can change often. Really can't afford a vet visit right now - but will if I have to. Maybe all I have left is internal antibiotics? The black scabs are returning after I remove them. Thanks!!
