Bumblefoot??

Okay, i didnt see any cut, and im back, im going to treat it right now.

last questions, im sorry!

I should wrap the foot after the soak? I dont think i have vet wrap.

and i have this. View attachment 3060609Would that be okay? It has bergamot and orange essential oil though. just a cup of this to a gallon warm water?

Yes. Wrap the foot with a drawing salve. If you dont have a drawing slave, than Neosporin will work. Drawing salves or ointment is best since it helps draw the infection out of the foot. Amazon has some.
Do you have any kind of bandage? Try to get a hold of some vet wrap too.

I might only do 1/2c to a gallon of water. I usually do 1c to about 2 gallons or more.

I usually wrap them in a towel while I soak. It helps keep them calm.

Should i hold her dangling, or should she stand?

I usually let them stand in the water. I've also had success with making a soaking sling.
Using a 5 gallon bucket, I cut tow holes in an old towel to make a sling. Used a bungee cord like a rubberband around the top of the bucket to hold the towel tight across the top. Like this-

I used the same method with the bungee cord to pull the towel tight across the top.
You can fill the bucket with salt and water before hand, but I used our warm water hose to fill it through one of the holes, then added salt.
Simply wrapped the hen in a towel, placed her in the sling and her feet should just hang in the water. Works great!
