Hello fellow chicken lovers!
so I have two (because it can’t just be one lol) chickens with some leg issues. The first one out rooster has/had bumble foot. I went ahead and did the whole bumble foot treating, pulled out the kernel which came apart in small pieces but it wasn’t a large infection, I think I caught it before it got to bad. But now he’s healing and the wound is healing very well but his leg is swollen and a little hot, what should I do about this? (I included his other leg to show the difference
The other chicken I’m having issues with is one of our hens, spice. She got this wound about a week ago here’s what it looked like, it also has the small white bump next to it?
And here’s what is looks like today
I’ve been spraying it with vetericyn plus and applying triple antibiotic ointment and bandaging it with vet wrap and some gauze to keep it as clean as possible. I’ve been changing the bandage every two days that way the ointment has time to work but it’s not getting any better, what else can I do? Maybe antibiotics?
