Bumblefoot in a Silver Appleyard duck

Back out with her buds! She'll come inside again tonight but she sure enjoys it when I take her out.

I love it! They all look so happy to see each other!

They were quacking up a storm. I think my ears are still ringing.

Miss Hailey is soaking now. I was poking around at her foot before I put her in, and the scab came off! Perfectly healthy tissue underneath, and no blood or oozy bits. I don't see any infection at all left.

After this soak I think I'm going to put her back outside and keep the wrap on for a while longer, until that hole has filled entirely with tissue. I would love to keep her inside for a lot longer, but I'm chopped liver compared to her ducky friends... sigh.

As promised, bandaging step-by-step...

Hailey's foot

I put a thick layer of antibiotic ointment on.

1/4th of a gauze pad.

This is how I position the vetwrap to start; right under the back toe, halfway across the web. I am not sure how long it is, I just eyeball a duck-foot sized amount.

Wrap gets continued to the other side and a triangle sized amount pinched shut to allow for the angle change.

Wrap continued to the other side, then pinched shut. I find tweezers work best for making it stick to itself the most.

Does that make any sense?

Fantastic!

Also, is this the Bumblefoot foot? Looks good to me!
Thank you for all the photos and keeping up with the thread, I've learned a lot and I'm sure it will be very helpful to others in the future.
