Hi!
I have this little sebright roo, who began limping two days ago. Today he’s not putting hardly any weight on his left leg, and not moving around all that much. I thought I had ruled out bumblefoot, but it’s hard to say. Some of his pads look a little puffy / pink, and wondering if this could be the very early stages of Bumblefoot? Or any other advice as to why he may be limping. Nothing is dislocated, and his upper thigh moves around great, it seems to be his foot.
thanks in advance!

Could soak in epsom salt once per day and spray with veterycin spray if develops more swelling and redness. If develops black spot on foot pad then has bumble foot and will have to scrub with betadine then I & D to remove black spot which is hard corn and any white pus beneath till see healthy pink tissue. Repeat foot soaks in Epsom salts with triple antibiotic ointment then apply small piece of gauze over wound and vet wrap. Use gloves as bumble foot is cause by staph infection. Throw away utensils used and use new disposable container for foot soaks.
