Liv's chickens
Songster
A few months back my turkey’s foot seemed swollen and he was constantly pecking at it, causing his foot to bleed. I cleaned it and wrapped it, and he seemed to act normal again, until the wrap fell off a few days later. He continued to peck at it but each time I cleaned it and wrapped it and it would seem to start healing, until he would peck at it again.
But this last time he really pecked at the tissue on his foot and so I cleaned it the best I could and wrapped it again, but with the wet weather it has become quite infected - there is white and black dead tissue and it smells bad. He seems to act normal but I’m worried there not much hope for him.
He’s a pet and I’ve had him for around two years (a bourbon red tom) and I really want him to live, so is there any way that he can still be saved? I’ve attached a photo of the foot right after I started unwrapping it.
Please let me know what your thoughts are.
Thanks!
