Bumble Foot! Help!

[Miss Lydia]

If you can keep his foot clean and dry probably. Once you get the scab off and there is an opening you want to keep it clean till it heals. I wish you could get pics. Is the whole foot swelled or just where the bumble is?

Itll be easier to hold him still for 45 seconds than it would be to hold him still in water for 4 and a half minutes.

I dont think theres a way around the hard part itself though. If there is someone else there, maybe they could hold him and his wings still while you quickly apply the bandage to his foot? Its gunna be tough though. :/

wrap him in a towel???

Yes a large towel keeps them from squirming long enough to treat.

There are just even bumbs on each of his heel.

Swelling bump, I think so but I'm not sure about if there's a scab or not. I'd have to somehow look under his foot.

Your going to have to wrap that big boy in a towel and check him out and treat if necessary. Bumble isn’t something you can ignore .
