Bumblefoot - Contradicting info on here - help

[chickensioux]

I have been treating a hen with bumblefoot and want to try the method offered in the references by Eggcentric but it states to soak the foot in Bactine first. Bactine contains lidocaine which has been a no-no in all other info. What to do?

You can soak it several different things. I choose to soak in warm epsom salt water.

Best not to use Bactine because of that lidocaine, Sue. If you're going to soak, use epsom salts in warm water.
