Bumblefoot troubles

Hi there is definitely still pus in her foot.
This is 2 days after I remove the giant clump
Any tips on how to get the remaining pus out?

Is pulling out all the pus with tweezers fine?

I use a sharp surgical scoop for this, works wonders. Using tweezers I would think that there will always be some residues to start it anew.

For puss, cabbage leaves are the best. The trick is how to wrap a chickens foot in a cabbage leaf. (?) If you can manage, it should work well. First, put slight pressure on the foot (if there is a lot of puss, it will just ooze out of the hole.) Then get a small 1 inch square piece of cabbage (enough to cover wound, and bandage it onto her foot. Remove and change each day with fresh cabbage leaf. After 3 days, I would put on polysporin, keep her one-two more days on dry clean begging (no roost) then let her back in with the flock.

I will have to try this! Thanks for the trick

The problem with chicken pus is, that it is not fluid but a rather solid sometimes caseous mass, so it will not just ooze out. Hence the need for a surgical scoop.
