Bumblefoot?

[The Duck Ladie]

Hello everyone.
This morning one of my Campbell girls was sort of limping. She wasn't unable to walk. She was still running around, but slower and her left foot was moving strangely. So i checked her foot and

Bumblefoot? I am not certain as I have never had it happen before. So I thought I had better ask before I became certain. What do yo think I should do?

Doesn't look like it has the blk scab that usually comes with bumble but does look swollen can you feel anything in that area like a splinter or thorn?

I'd soak her foot in some warm Epsom salt water half cup to 1 gal of water [don't let her drink it] has a laxative effect as well as helping with swelling. after you soak place her in an area where she has a few days to heal and rest keep soaking daily you can put something like antibiotic ointment or Veterycin on the area as often as you can hopefully it will take care of itself in a few days. Put a friend in with her for company.

wonder if she stepped on a bee ?

Very likely this time of year my gander did once and his foot swelled I did soak in ES water for a few days till swelling went down. Could never find a stinger though.

Maybe. Haven't seen bees around the yard were they roam.

Soak her foot in ES for ten min. then peel off scab and try to pull out infection. Then put on antibiotic and wrap her foot until healed. Repeat for 2-3 days, and keep foot wrapped until healed. I read this in a chicken health book but I'm positive you could use it for ducks too, but it might be a bit harder to wrap foot? I don't know because i don't have ducks but i tried this on my chicken and got good results.

I soaked the foot for at least 10 mins. (Didn't see your post Abriana, i think i will do that.)
Here are better pictures of her (now cleanish) feet.

Right foot (The one she isn't limping)

Left foot.

Yep Bumble but you have to soak for a few days before trying to pull off the scab or you will probably pull off good skin.
