Bumblefoot??

[Rick&Chris]

One if my 11 month old girls has a mark on her foot. Does not seem to be causing any discomfort. Is this Bumblefoot? If so, what do I do? Close up and standard pic for review and foot comparison. Thanks!

I second this. I didn't have a sink available, so I let mine stand in a bucket with warm water/Epsom salts. She was quite calm. I also added a dot of detergent, it helps soften and clean.

Thank you! I will try this. How long does it take to heal (on average)? Wondering how long I should keep her separated from her flock.

Healing time can vary depending on the size of the lesion. I don't isolate unless the bird is having trouble getting around. If it's wrapped well it should stay clean between changes. Unless you have really wet or damp or dirty conditions. I usually change dressings daily and reapply whatever ointment you are using, until I know it's healing well, then you can go to every other or every third day as needed. If it's wet where she is then more frequent changes might be necessary.
