BUMBLEFOOT EMERGENCY!!!!!

I found this, it could be helpful? https://cs-tf.com/scaly-leg-mites/

The foot does look to be scaled. If bumble is there...there's a few photos for help. And thank you.

That's pretty darn swollen for mites, but if so, I always used something that folks can't believe works..but oh boy does it! I buy the lice spray from a pet shop .says for canaries..works great on chickens too.. imagine that!

This stuff is cheap, works great, and easy to apply. Great for mites on their skin too. I spray under their tummy, on the bottom, under wings, neck, behind neck. Easy to do, easy on them.

Where do you see Bumblefoot in the OP's photo?

Good tutorial and photos for Bumblefoot, but not for SLM!

She was likely offering help based on the title of the post. And it's an excellent comment for those of us experiencing bumblefoot for the first time. The OP originally thought she had a BF issue so no reason to call out someone trying to help based on the OP's post title.
Cynthia, thank you so much for your photos and assistance regarding bumblefoot. I'm curious though, what the little circle tool with teal handle is? I don't have one of those but I have sterile surgical blades, Vetericyn, Neosporin without pain relief, non stick gauze, and vet wrap to take care of my sweet boy's bumble. Will that work just as well? I was thinking I would soak in Epsom salt bath, then carefully cut at the scab and squeeze out the infection. Then I was planning to use Vetericyn to wash out the wound, pack with neosporin, and then gauze and wrap in vet tape. Will that all work? I wish there was a product that we could safely numb the area with. I'm afraid to hurt my beautiful boy. :'(

@Cynthia12

It was years ago..but I did get it online, just can't remember which site. I'm sure you can find them on Amazon today.

Here's an example..just search for biopsy punch...mine was green, doesn't have to be green.

It might be a good idea to get two different sizes. There were a couple of times I needed a smaller one than what I had. It's best to get that bumble foot taken care of as soon as possible, before it gets huge and waay u comfortable.
