Bumblefoot duck

[aprattsky]

Hi! I ordered it online from this website-​

​

https://www.koiacres.com/featured/tricide-neo.html​

​

I followed their directions on how to mix it. Make sure you keep the extra solution in a cool, dark place. Yes wrapping can be quit the challenge! I just soaked their little feet and sent them on their way. It might take a week or two of soaking to work (and obviously there is not a guarantee that it will). I really hope it works for you! And happy to answer any more questions you might have. Good luck!​

Thank you! I will definitely order it. Do you know how long it usually takes to arrive?

I would say it came in about a week or so, maybe less? I ordered two packets just to have one on hand. It does and up being pricey but I found it really worth the cost!

Preferably one that works against both bacteria, yeast, and fungus, since all can be found in bumblefoot plugs. That might include Manuka Honey or Silver Sulfidiziane cream. If you don't have any of those you can use Neosporin or Preparation H.

Hello, I am still in the battle of curing up her bumblefoot. I bought Tricide-Neo twice but I did not see much progress. Last weekend we ending up removing most of it with an blade. Now it looks more like a scab from. This week, I’ve been soaking her feet with epson salt and wrapping her feet with neosporn oiment. I wanted to buy try your first recommendation of manuka honey or silver sulfidiziane cream but have no idea where to get them. I tried buying silver sulfidiziane from Walmart but they required me to get vet prescription which I don’t have. Can you provide me with some places you know I can get it from?

I have had bumble much worse then that about a dozen times throughout my flock and cleared it up with vetracin. I will tell you how i use it and you do what you want with it. This works for me but other ppl think its wrong (but if they tried It maybe they wouldn't) If you dissagree with me i dont want to hear about it.

With the advise of my vet friend i stoped bandaging. For the short version skip to the last paragraph. The problem with a bandage is unless you put the duck in a hospital cage the bandage will get wet and dirty almost immediately. A soiled wet bandage is a great environment for bumble (bacteria) to thrive.
Now with one duck you could move the duck to a hospital cage and do the traditional wrap, and that has worked for me. But the duck will desperately want to be with the flock and that stress is not great, plus if the duck is away from the flock long enough you will have to deal with reintegration drama. Lastly and i feel the biggest problem with bandaging is it take a large amount of time, effort and money. This means that i am likely to not change the bandage as often as needed to keep clean, minimum once daily (probably hourly if the duck is out with the flock). With the bandageless method my ducks actualy get more treatments and, shocker, as a result heal faster.

For the initial treatment i grab the duck and asses the foot, if there is a big giant scab, usualy on the heel and i palpate and it feels off, usualy hard ( the swolen part of the heel not the scab itself feels hard) i will usualy come back later after the duck has been swimming or soak it myself, then pull the wet scab and extract the core if there is one. If no giant scab (as your original pictures show) then i skip that step and spray the foot with vetracin. An old toothbrush works well to work it in, hold the duck for 5 minuets to let the antiseptic work then let her go, you can do that daily but i have seen good progress with only 3x a week.

Could you post a picture?

SSD cream requires a prescription, but mauka honey does not.

@Isaac 0 Do you recommend me to extract more or should I continue with them soak and wrap them the ointment?
