I just reread this whole thing, too. This is probably the best Bumblefoot story and outcome I’ve seen on here!

Aw you're too kind thank you. I'll see about getting a video of her walking once I'm done with the bandages

That's awesome! I really hope this helps others. Though the battle isn't officially over yet... or maybe it is and the infection is gone, we'll see

Even with bandages might be educational.

Hey guys, another update. It's been about 4 weeks of her being unbandaged I think. It was going well, but I just checked her tonight and it's coming back.

I'm not quite sure what to do here. I could try to keep treating her, but as a few have suggested, it could be incurable. I'm trying to make the decision to try to keep treating it or if I should kill her. I'm inclined to keep treating it, but I don't know whether I want to keep trying because I think I can cure it or because I just don't want to kill her and just want to postpone her death. I've never killed any of my chickens before.

I'll try to give an update on my decision. I may try to remove the new scab and look at it first to assess how bad it is now and go from there. I don't know.
