Yes I will try to upload one asap!
his mate Munchkin has extreme bumblefoot I have been treated for a long time. She is getting worse and I have tried many medications. I tried keeping just Munchkin alone but Cletus would freak out and attack everyone and anything to get to her. She kept throwing herself at the fence. They stay in a small coop closer to the house for easier treatment. They shiver when I open the coop and such. On warmer sunnier days I put them out in a small quarantine pen.
I had a vet out and he cut it open and pulled some infection out. He's not a bird vet, he specializes in equines, but he has worked on ducks before. I don't think he got all the hard clumps of infection out, since it has only gotten worse since. He told me to leave the wound open....and I did for a day....and I notice now that was a big mistake. I should have wrapped it immediately.....but he told me not to. We cut into it again and pulled some more out. I've tried numerous times to pull out the infection out, but its so difficult as it seems to go farther then the opening. I can grab it with the tweezers and pull but it won't come. I could try with a knife but she flings her leg no matter how you hold it still. I soak every day and rewrap with a sugar and iodine paste that I know has done wonders for infections on animals before, but I also have done Neosporin separately. I have done amoxicillin for a week but then switched to baytril. She was on that for 2 weeks no improvement. She shakes also. I'm pretty discouraged since this is my baby and I've tried so much to help her. I'll try to get you a pic of the oil gland today. Its pretty hard by myself.
Oh ok we have cut it open. Twice! And it just got worse. Ok thank you! Where could I get tricide neo? Thanks so much!
