Bumblefoot??

[Weeg]

I have a gauze like wrapping, that sticks to each other and seems good. Would that be okay to wrap her foot if i do get her plug out? Just wrapping it between the toes?

Yes, gauze wrap is great! I still recommend using a Vet wrap to seal from dirt though. If you do remove the plug by soaking, than put her in a dog crate on puppy pads with the gauze wrapping. Otherwise dirt will get into the bandages and reinfect the wound.

and should i do surgery? Thats my biggest question right now. Do i just do a longer soak? Slightly pluck it with something? Im not sure.

Did you get a drawing salve or calendula oil? If so, I would put drawing salve over the wound, then a Calendula oil soaked gauze piece over that. Then wrap with vet wrap. That should draw out the infection without needing surgery.
If you do want to preform surgery, use this link to do so- https://www.tillysnest.com/2015/12/non-surgical-bumblefoot-treatment-html/
Her bumbles are so small you shouldn't need to use a knife to remove them.

I couldn’t find any where im at. I’ll try ordering some, do you think it would be okay to get in a few days because of shipping? Im worried it might take to long.

thank you

I think that will be fine. Just use the Banix for now, and I would crate her to keep it clean.

Crate her for how long? Isbe has a huge (huge) attachment to rizo and would probably get a heart attack without her (Not really, but she does follow her everywhere.)

Until its healed preferably. Do you have a wire dog crate? I would put the crate inside the coop so they can still interact and see each other.
Thats what I do for my ducks, they are very attached as well.

Okay, thank you! Im going to try that..

could i let her out to walk on soft grass only? Just curious! I’ll see if i can get my hands on a wire one.

You can let her out some, just try to keep her out of the dirt. Or get a good seal on the bandages with Vet Wrap. If you don't have to remove the core, its probably less of a concern keeping her feet super clean, but its always a good idea.

Thank you so much!

Got the oil and salve, without taking the plug out, just put the oil soaked into the gauze and then add the salve? Can i do it without the gauze? Just curious. Thanks!

I would definitely use the gauze. That will give her some cushion for the bumble too heal. Pressure can actually be the cause of bumble foot in some cases, so the gauze is definitely helpful. Especially with the oil.

Sounds like you've got it right!
