Bumblefoot?

Okay, so I am freaking out again... She needs a antibiotic in her foot right? Especially now that I cut the skin. So, Duoderm hydroactive Gel is a antibotic for chickens right?

Is this good?

I usually apply the nesoporin after cleaning with chlorhexidene or Betadine disinfectant. Apply a dressing and check it in 24 hours. Bumble foot can be treated in a variety of ways.

Yes, I have been using Dueroderm gel, but is that good enough? Since I did not get puss, does that mean the infection is higher up? Closer to her bones perhaps?

You may not always find pus or a plug.

Oh so that does not mean anything?

Just relax a bit. Sometimes you will get a pus plug with the surgery, sometimes not. Nowadays, most people soak in warm Epsom salts initially, and try to remove he scabs of bumble foot instead of cutting into the bumble. I used to do the surgery, but now I believe soaking and removing the scab with squeezing is a better approach. Just make sure your dressing is not applied too tight. Dressings with vet wrap can sometimes move and cut off circulation.

Im trying lol, my first bumblefoot and its hard. We soaked her foot/feet the skin got lose and came off, however the picture below shows what was healed or scabed over after wich confused me.

Also what do I do about the little one on her toe?

I just read another post of bumblefoot and it said high roosts can he a problem, my roosts are probably around 2 and a half to 3 feet high, they have the option to jump to like a 2 foot roost but many just fly out the door, except for my fatsos who wait for us to come. ️

The one on the little toe, you'd treat the same, soak and Push out.
