So, i bought my chickens almost 2 months ago. 18 days ago I happen to look them over and found that both my 12 month old black orpington's have a case of bumble-foot. Penelope's are the worse so That's the picture's I have .
Day 1 we removed the leather like covering checked for hard area's, found none and soaked in hot Epsom salt water with 1 tbs bleach- every other day, gave 1st pen C shot 1/4 cc and covered the wound.
Day 2,3,4 shots with soaks ever other day.
days 5-9 soaked every other day.
Day 10-14 repeated with the shot going up to 1/2 cc.
In these shots the swelling is down, none between the toes.
How long do I continue to soak, and cover the wound?
I've done 2 series of pen. shots 4 days each, 10 days apart, given in breast alternating sides.
