my guess is that not all of the infection was removed, or maybe it wasnt fully healed and got reinfected

who knows

Don't give up! We battled bumble in our Wyandottes (the only 3 who had bumble out of our flock of 27 chickens and 4 ducks) and after many iterations of medicating, scraping, bandaging, and making vet wrap chicken booties, I swore that we would process them if I had to treat their bumble one. more. time. Well we did treat one more time, but that was the last and they've been issue free for months now! Persistence!

Ok, will this work?

Not sure if this was answered, but I'm curious if it will......I can't find clear iodine at my local store and was wondering if this would work, as I am currently trying to get ahead of bumble foot in my ducks and I'm thinking of ordering some on amzon too.

I’m curious if anyone knows if taking oral antibiotics on top of the foot soaks would help? Obviously you don’t want to give them more medication than needed. But rather if it is a reoccurring thing, would it help to rid a duck of it???????

no idea
maybe changing type of bedding or flooring

what are they standing on??

So to add to my stress, when I was doing their waterers one of my hens walked by and I noticed this lump on her foot, what is that?? Is that bumblefoot at the bottom of her foot? There's no black scab
