Foot turned in

[Jenny421]

Do you have any thoughts on what she could have hurt her foot on?
Is she acting normal other than the foot?
When you feel her foot/leg, try to feel her joints and see if there is anything dislocated. Feel the bad leg and compare it to the good one.

She’s acting normal, but neither duck likes one of the roosters and they are always “running” away from him. I imagine that could be how she hurt it.

Her left ankle is swollen.

She def has bumble on both feet and the swelling could be from an injury from running from the rooster or the infection from bumble has spread. Start by soaking her feet in warm epsom salt water you want to soften the scabs it may take several day once the scabs are softened then after soak try and peel the scabs back careful not to pull fresh skin the ous in poultry is thick and yellowish. Sometimes when you pull off the scab the bumble will be attached and come out with the scab. But once you get all the pus out (sterile tweezers work well) then Pack with something like triple antibiotic ointment wrap and keep her out of water till healed. If this is infection in her ankle area she will need an antibiotic. You’ll also want to check every couple days to make sure you got all the infection out of both feet. There is a product called Epsom salt poultice at TSC works good for bumbles too.

How can I tell if the infection is out? I might just try to take her to the vet….

Is this the poltice?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Yes I haven't seen it in this large jar but that is it. If you can take her to a vet that is def an option. It takes a while to get bumbles cleared up.
