bumble foot surgery

[sundayschicks]

just did my first bumble foot surgery. don't know how well i did. i managed to get the scab off and squeeze out bunch of gunk, but i don;t know if i got it all. i'm still shaking! my poor hen!

Good for you! Keep us updated on how she's doing. Is she getting antibiotics, got her foot wrapped?

Good for you for trying. I am on day 17 of my hen's surgery. I keep telling myself I am doing everything I can to extend her life. Good luck to you and your hen! Dotties bumblefoot journey

sunday'schicks, did your chickens foot look like the photos on dottie's journey page? I just rewrapped my Chicken Little (she got her surgery last night) . The darkness of the wound startled me, and the swollenness as well. I'm not incredibly learned in the ways of surgery but I suppose it makes sense that things would be quite swollen and dark just a day later....right?
