Bumblefoot cure with just Betadine soaks?

An hour? How did you manage that...

I'm beginning to think that maybe Casportpony is a bird whisperer! Either that or she has way more knowledge than mere mortals have.

My tub has sliding glass doors, so it's fill tub, place bird in tub, close doors, and turn off lights. I think they stay calmer with the lights off.

Not a whisperer, and don't have way more knowledge, just lots of practice!

the vet gave her some sulfa meds t

Is this vet one of those anti-Baytril vets?

So wrap it up the anklet, like a gladiator sandal? And then tape it?

Looks like that pic in @casportpony thread she gave the link too. I didn’t use the duck tape just vet wrap.

When I soak I put both feet In the bucket and hold on to them usually 10 mins. My tub doesn’t have glass doors lol

I'm doing the bucket too, along with a towel. She's slowly settling down and not moving so much while she is in there. She does start squirming and fussing as soon as that timer goes off. Smart bird!
