Bumblefoot

[Iownmuscovies]

hi my 9 month old Muscovy male got bumblefoot, it’s toe is swollen and there’s a black ball looking thing in the bottom of its foot. I soaked it’s feet in epsom salt as a YouTube video told me to, but he’s so fussy and impatient he starts kicking and scratching when I try to wrap his foot in bandage. Any ideas please?

Did you take the Black ball out ? You should take it out then wrap it .
Birds calm down when their head is covered. take a towel and wrap him up ..with his feet sticking out

We didn’t take the black ball out in case we damage her maybe

The black ball is the infection hardened . you need to take it out ..
it is like walking on a small ball.or stone .... ouch ..it will stay irritated and will not heal if you dont

I recently posted how I cured Bumblefoot. Check out tge pics I posted with the dog harness, it made it SO much easier for me to handle and treat my chicken with a lot less stress on the bird. Hope it helps.
