Bumblefoot??

Looks good! I would use a strip of duct tap to hold the end down. If you don't, and even if you do, I bet she tears that wrap right off.

Thanks! She walks fine, seems good. seems like nice circulation and all.


She tried getting it off at first, but stopped and shes walking pretty normal.

Looks like you're doing a good job. Keep at it and likely you'll be able to press the bumbles out without having to cut into the foot.

Thank you! Hopefully that will be the case.

So after the soak, just massage it? It still wont come out, and im wondering if i should do surgery. Any suggestions for surgery or what i should do next would be very helpful (Or how to go about surgery, if needed. In the least painful and gross looking way)

I would use this method to remove the core- https://www.tillysnest.com/2015/12/non-surgical-bumblefoot-treatment-html/

Basically explains how to soak the foot and remove the core that way. Much less invasive, and affective got minor cases like Rizos.

I agree, I would still try to get those out without cutting into the foot.

I appreciate everyones help, sorry for the constant tags.

Rizo is not seeming to be improving, if anything getting a tad worse. I would say about the same though. So for the past 2 days, i have started to use a scalpel and shave off the top layer, hoping maybe it would be easier to get out and stuff would get some layers deeper. Not sure if what i did was correct, but i shaved it down to be flush with the skin, and it is no longer black. Just a skin like color. It is still there, i have not dug it out, but shaved it down.

What should i do? Continue to shave? Perform surgery? Just do what i was doing before? About 2 wrappings a day, or when it gets dirty and is floppy, her 15 minute soak with epsom salt. I still do it, but i started shaving it to.
Im at a loss, and i want this to end in the best way possible and not drag it on if it wont work.

Remember the link I sent you? The one about soaking and removing the scab that way? Do that.

Put her in a war epsom salt bath for 15 minutes. After that, flip her on her back and hold her between your legs. Grab the plug/scab with tweezers, and wiggle it a bit. Does it pull away from the foot? Does it move at all? Sometimes they just pop out at this time. If its not moving at all, or only moving a bit, put her back in the soak for another 15-20 minutes, and repeat. Eventually it should loosen from the foot, and you should be able to pull it out with tweezers. I would give that a try.

Yes, this one. https://www.tillysnest.com/2015/12/non-surgical-bumblefoot-treatment-html/

Okay, thank you. I will do that, im a bit worried because i think i might have messed up my shot at wiggling it out easily because i shaved it down, it was pressed upwards and a bit wiggly before, do you think it will be harder sense i trimmed it?
