BUMBLEFOOT ?can it kill ??

[poulet]

I know it is often asked about but I have looked and can't find the answers so if anyone has any links would be grateful. My chicken has bumble foot didn't seem to be too pooly but now she sitting alot of the time, I thought it would go away on its own or can I do something ? I can't really afford to take her to the vet

Yes!
Because it's a staph infection. It can go systemic and infect the whole bird.

I'm sorry. I'm afraid you will have to get your bird some strong antibiotics and, as far as I know, at least here in the US, that means a visit to the vet. You better hurry too because it sounds like it's getting to her now. I know of chickens that have died from it who were on antibiotics! And over-the-counter antibiotics are not strong enough. Best of luck!
