Brand new to Treating bumblefoot help!!

[paigeber]

Hello- I am 99% sure one of my girls has bumblefoot. I have sifted through many forms of what to do & how to most effectively treat but u can’t really tell what stage it is in or if I should take her to the vet yet. She isn’t limping or anything yet so am I able to treat it myself at home & what is the best method to go about it & if anyone has recommendations for products please recommend! I have never dealt with it before so I’m very worried for my girl & just want her to be ok. Thanks so much!!

Looks very mild and may not be bumble foot. But soaking in Epsom salt water and applying neosporin wouldn't hurt.

Good catch! If that is bumble, it is the tiniest one and you should easily be able to take care of it. Occasionally I've found such a small one on my duck and if you take a toothbrush and give it a little gentle scrub with iodine on the brush, then keep her out of the water for ten minutes - maybe do that twice a day - I bet it will be gone in no time.
