Bumblefoot?

[wdscully]

Our 7 year old Leghorn, Peep, stopped walking 3 days ago. We checked her feet and it looks like bumblefoot. She is otherwise behaving normally...eating, tho not as much, drinking and even laying.

We brought her inside, soaked her feet in epsom salt bath for 20 to 30 mins, then applied PRID and bandaged up and are keeping crated her inside while we work through the process. After todays bath we noticed her toes are looking a bit angry. Is this normal for bumble or could this be a secondary issue?

It may just be very bad Bumblefoot, or perhaps footpad dermatitis? @Wyorp Rock

Update: I ended up taking Peep to the vet. She did not think FPD, since shes in a pretty open space, but more likely a severe case of bumblefoot. She thinks its treatable with antibiotics and a daily soak in Chlorhexidine. It's now been about a week. The good news: she can bear weight on that foot and open her toes again, however, her toes themselves look like their getting worse. Hoping its a "looks worse before it gets better" situation.

The tips of her toes look like they're dead. Is it possible you wrapped her foot too tightly?
