Hi, I recently discovered my favorite hen has bumblefoot in both feet (stage 3 or 4 I think).
The vet and they told us to give her foot baths with bio tex twice a day, painkillers twice a day, oral antibiotics once a day for 4 days, and to apply honey-O3 gel to to scab twice a day.
I’ve been following this treatment plan, but I’m unsure whether it will actually work and would like to know whether I should be doing something else.
Should I remove the scab and core? I don’t think the vet wanted to do this, but I don’t really know why. Everything I see online recommends it.
I can’t go back to the vet, because it’s too expensive, so I really need help.
Thanks in advance for the advice!
