One of our girls got the bumble. I soaked and pulled out the bumble from the bottom, it came out pretty easy, no cutting. I wrapped it with polysporin. It's been about a month of soaking and cleaning and rewrapping and it doesn't seem to be healing.
So for 2 weeks, ish, I have been using PRID.... I really really don't want to cut her, but I think I'm going to have to. The top, as seen in the picture is bad now. And there isn't an actual cut there so there is nothing to dig out.
So my question is, can someone show me where to make the incision? Am I running the risk of hitting any tendons right here on the top? I am no beginner to first aid and I'm not squeamish at all. I just love her and don't want to cause her further pain.
She is a rescue chicken too. She came to us with a broken foot (the other foot, poor girl) that never quite healed all the way so she has stuff toes there and is limping around as it is. Now she has 2 bad feet and I just feel so bad for the baby.
