Bumblefoot

[PippinTheChicken]

First foot done! Thank you @TheOddOneOut for your helpful foot wrapping article! Thank you @azygous and @GermanKennhuhn for your help!
She did really well, she's really tame so she appreciated me holding her lots. She's walking fine and is flying around as usual.. So my wrapping job was acceptable. So hard to wrap a tiny foot!

Tonight she's roosting normally. I'm surprised I did a decent job. I'm also suprised she still likes me, and she jumped up onto my lap for cuddles afterwards. I was able to put together my poultry first aid kit from all the stuff I bought, when I get birthday money I'll buy more stuff like betadine and maybe some calcium citrate (if you have more first aid kit suggestions let me know). I'm doing her second foot tommorow when the new vetwrap arrives. When should I take off the vetwrap and check the bumble?

Check the wound after two days.

I took off the bandages off but the bumbles had come back. I'll do the treatment again tommorow

You'll have to keep soaking it until you get all the dead tissue out under the scab. I stand my rooster up in a bucket of warm water with epsom salt in it and soak his feet 20 minutes first.I place a milk crate overtop of the bucket so he can't jump out.
