Bumblefoot, need help

[lilzoe5]

Hi y'all. I been treating my hen's bumblefoot for about two weeks now. Before she used be in slight discomfort when walking but now she's running and walking just fine.

For treatment:

- Vetericyn
- Neosporin
- PRID Drawing salve
- Gauze pad & Vet wrap

So this is what it's currently looking like. Should I start peeling the scab or will it heal on its own? Or do I need to remove it and take out whatever is stuck in there? Please help thanks!

You definitely need to take the scab out, that holds the infection in/is the infection. I would give the foot epsom salt bath for ten to fifteen minutes then pull off scab if you can and then pack wound with non pain relief neosporin and then wrap foot in vetwrap and keep her in a clean dry area. You can repeat treatment until completely healed. Good luck, and keep us updated
