I have 9 chickens and most of them have bumble foot Zzz. I'm assuming its from the wood shavings and from jumping up and down the roost. So i worked on two chickens so far.. taking it slowly since I'm super fresh at this. My first chicken i worked on had a veryyyyyyy mild bumble foot and it healed in just a few days. The second chicken i am working on... her right foot is so bad while her left one is just very mild.
This is what it looked like when i peeled the scab back just a little.
Sorry i dont have anymore pics because I was working solo and this pic was taken by my dad but he had to go work on something else afterwards.
Then i peeled off the scab completely. There was a hole in her foot
i tried to clear aaway the yellow flesh as much as possible even though her foot started gushing out blood. I applied pressure, cleaned it off with a cotton ball and rubbing alcohol. Afterwards i sprayed Vetericyn Hydrogel all over her wound, I placed a gauze drenched with more hydrogel, and i topped it off with another dry gauze. I wrapped up her feet with vetrap too.
Im gonna go to the drug store tmrow to purchase triple antibiotic cream to boost the healing process if possible :O
So yeah, i hope i somewhat did this right. Any tips, and opinions would help a lot!!!
