I went thru articles about it. I was planning on soaking it, cutting out the core & then squeezing it to get all the cheesy stuff out of it. Then use diluted batedine to clean it again. Pack it with Neosporin ointment & then put a non-stick sterile pad on it, then wrap it in vet wrap. Make sure to keep him seperated from the rest of them. So he's not moving around a lot on it. Keep bedding very, very clean. Watch very closely in case an infection sets in. Keep it clean & covered until it completely heals. Treat with a course of antibiotics if infection does happen.

I think it said clear iodine. I think it was on the Pekin Duck thread about just soaking, not cutting. But if you don't get it soon enough, it goes into the bone and kills them.

I think that is what might have happened with my roo. The bumble foot site I visited said to soak in Epsom salt water or a diluted betadine which is iodine but red.

Thanks newfie. I'm going to look at it tomorrow nd make sure that's what it is. I think I'm seeing a little knot on both feet. He jumps down a lot so I'm guessing that's what caused it.

They say to reduce the height of your roost bars for heavy breed birds because the constant impact of there weight hitting the floor can cause bumble foot. Also to make sure you have a thick layer of bedding on your coop floor to help absorb some of the impact.
