Hi Team,
A couple of my poor girls got bumblefoot. 2 of them are doing great and basically healed in 3 days.
The 3rd one was so bad, I feel terrible. We’ve been living in a hotel since the Texas storms so I just haven’t been spending as much time with the girls and this one in particular likes to keep her distance… I have however learned that I will be checking everyone’s feet at night from now on!
Her bumble was almost the entire foot pad and came out not just the bottom, but 2 locations on the side. I cut out the scab and as much yellow as I could see below.
I packed with neosporin and put some drawing salve because I didn’t feel like I got all of the infection…but I didn’t want to keep digging in her foot.
Day 2: the wound was filled with yellow pus again so I cleaned and packed it again.
Day 3: same situation. The pus is never a hard kernel, always cottage-cheesy.
I was going to maybe give more time before cleaning it out again, I dropped some Corid in their water, but I think she needs something stronger.
Should I leave it alone? Should I continue cleaning out and packing.
The other girls got better so quickly! I just want to make sure I’m doing the right thing.
the photo with the scab is from YouTube, but fairly similar with how much of the foot pad it occupied.
the one with the open wound is when I was cleaning it earlier.
