Bumblefoot, Baytril, and about to blow my top

Looks like you have a good camera. Can you get a bunch of close up pictures of her foot? Top, bottom, left, right, back, front?


Not unless I have someone else here to catch her and hold her, and I don't. We have been cleaning and medicating their feet every other day for 2 weeks, so when we bring her in for the next cleaning I'll get some. I just took these while she was wandering around, the other girl with bad feet is currently laying an egg.
 
If they aren't improving, try again, either by seeing if your current vet is interested in learning something new, or find someone else. Sorry that this is happening!
Few veterinarians treat chickens, unless they own their own flock, because there's so seldom a call to see a chicken. Try a large animal practice, or an avian practice. Your state vet may know someone in your area too.
Good luck,
Mary


I may have to take her to the vet school, they do have avian doctors there but it is soooooo expensive. I worked there for years, wish I still had an employee discount.
I don't think I'd ever go back to the vet I saw today - it was not an experience I'd recommend to anyone (and I didn't even get into the details here, lol).

Sorry you had a bad experience there. :hugs
