Daisy’s Bumblefoot.. It’s almost healed right??

[Heathmess]

Hi! Awhile back I posted pics of a Daisy Pekin’s severe bumblefoot.. it’s been months of treating with a process of warm epson salt bath for inflammation and softening the scab , cleaning with vetacin spray, removing any infection with a sterilized tweezer, cleaning it again, covering with non-stick gauze pad with coloidal (sp?) silver ointment mixed with an herbal healing salve. I wrap it with vet wrap, waterproof tape and put her foot in a duck boot made with wet suit material with a padded rubber sole. I’m posting a pic of today and a pic of the progress over months of treatment ..

if you have experience treating bumblefoot- is it almost gone or is there any more infection there? You can see some yellow spots but no more dark brown/black! Anything else i can do to heal it faster?

It looks clean. The wound needs to granulate from the bottom and heal over. I would stop the salves creams and sprays now; keep the foot clean by washing [not soaking] then using then your non-stick gauze pad, wrapped with vet wrap, waterproof tape and her foot in a duck boot. The granulation needs to form and the wound dry out to heal

It looks really good. Like Ruth said, the skin needs to heal back together.

Perfect! Thank you! I appreciate it very much! She does seem to enjoy her bath time in the house bath tub but I can switch to a quick wash in our mudroom sink so it can dry out faster. Holy crow has this taken forever to get rid of. I almost had it completely gone last year and made the mistake of stopping the wrapping/duck boot too soon.
