Thank you so much. The scab is getting lighter in color but still can't remove the scab. I will soak daily. I put VetRx and wrapped today. I checked all my girls today and discovered one more girl with the beginnings of bumble also. She'll get a salt bath tomorrow also. Is it contagious???
I soaked the girls feet today. Sprayed Vetricyin on affected area massaged with VetRX oil then wrapped with a guaze pad and vet wrap. During the massage process a scab fell off. There was no hole or puss? I was expecting something. I kept massaging the area trying to decide if there is infection under her skin. I'm not sure there is. Here foot doesn't appear swollen and the area doesn't feel hard??? Now I'm confused. I know something is wrong. She does more laying then foraging and isolates herself from the others. Wattle and comb are red. Eyes look good. Her butt has been getting a soak so don't think she's egg bound. I'm perplexed. Any suggestions??Its not contagious amongst birds, but when you do there feet wear gloves, its a staph infection so it can transfer to humans also.
Get prid drawing salve.. It works magic!
