Bumblefoot?

[Sylvester017]

Yay! Yes I know that ones probably a deep cavity. I am still treating it, but not as often as I have school.

I know you have school as many of us have jobs also but it is imperative to make time to treat daily. You are doing so well ~ Plz make time ~ it comes w/ the territory of pet ownership

@Sylvester017

I just want to say, thank you so much! Everone who replied in this thread have been so helpfull! Especially Sylvester, I would never had been able to do this without you guys! I'm so glad I posted this thread. Hopefully, it can help some others in the future. Im going to keep doing prid on her last bumble, so ill update you guys tomorrow, just wanted to say thanks! (I'm sure Maggie is thanking you all too!)

You're most welcome! Maggie looks like a big girl. Our bigger clean legged Dominiques were the only birds to get bumble but none of our feather-legged girls (Silkies & Breda fowl). But we figured out the Dom girls got bumble from sitting & snoozing on the rough stone borders of the raised garden beds & the cedar wood border of their sandbox! The vet suggested we wrap the coop perch to cushion it so we did but they still got bumble & that's when we figured out it was not the perch but the garden bed & sandbox borders that irritated their footpads. Live & learn sometimes the lengthy hard way ~ sigh!

Our one remaining Dom hen is big & old & she doesn't snooze on the edges hardly any more so this year so far she didn't get bumble!

After removing the kernel, she seemed to want to run more! I knew the lazy her was not right! Now shes a scratching and sprinting maniac!

I really think animals respond well to good consistent care. Well done!
