Broken toenail or foreign object?

[citychicks99]

I'm not sure sure that amoxicillin was strong enough. I mean, I get it's the#1 treatment for staph/bumblefoot, this girl is not recovering. If I'm not mistaken, I see more swelling today.

Sorry to hear it's back and swelling more. Is it pink/red? Do you see any pus? Pictures can helpful if you're able to get it.

Biting the bullet, vet appointment. I can't fix this at this point. She swelled up a bit. It's going to be a long drive for this girl. Question-
What do you transport your chickens in?? Box?

Maybe transport her in a cat crate? I've never transported an adult chicken before.
Hoping the vet will be able to heal her quickly!!

I hope so too, RubelliteRose. Thank you. I ended up finding a moving box that was perfect size. We're at the vets now. Fingers and talons crossed.

Just books/dvds. Nothing to see here... The looks I am getting in the waiting room oh my peeple.

The vet expressed some of the infection out. Says he thinks it's in the joint. This is last resort he said, combined with soaking.

Hope the meds work quickly for her!

Thank you. Same same.
