Hello a gaming autistic idiot has arived with poultry problems

[SarahGfa]

soak the feet in warm epsom salt water and see if you can find the scab. remove the scab, fill the whole with antibiotic ointment, and wrap the foot in vetwrap so it can heal.

fellow pc gamer here. I have been known to play a few under this same username on occasion. Only really active on LoL these days, too busy otherwise.

Keeping a wrap on a turkey that doesn't want one is nigh impossible. Locate the place where you see the most swelling. If there is a patch of white showing under the skin, it is pus and needs to be drained out. The puss will be cheesy and often the core has a central hard 'kernel' or core that must be removed. I had a poult who was 2-3 weeks old that got bumble foot so badly she required 3 cores removed out of her foot, and she was too young for me to comfortably give her antibiotics. Soaked her foot after removing the bumble cores, bathing it 4 times a day, alternating Epsom salt and betadine baths for 10 minute soaks. It made her pretty human tolerant so she is now named Hazel. Since you won't get a turkey likely to let her foot stay bandaged, this helps clean out the wound and helps keep it clean enough to heal. Call around to see if there are any veterinarians who can help you or give you advice. Make sure you use a fresh disposable scalpel. The soaking also allows for drainage to continue while the wound heals itself so you don't close up the abscess too soon. I find good results with the antibiotic Exceed, but as far as I know you still need to get it from a veterinarian. It is off label for poultry but it is an injectable antibiotic that is every 5 to 7 days. If you get a veterinarian willing to prescribe it, the dosage is weight based and, being as turkeys are much smaller than horses, you won't have but a tiny dose in a TB syringe to inject right into the breast muscle.

I do use scratch grains as a special treat sometimes, or in the winter when they need a few extra calories, but R2elk is right about not overfeeding treats. Turkeys can be pretty sensitive about their foods.

The feet do not appear to be in bad enough shape to make the bird not walk on.... To me.
They do not look like they are full of pus like as seen in this video:

Can you get a clear photo of what the feet look like now that you have done something to them?

pus in birds coagulates over time. It is still a good idea to remove that core if possible. give it a soak to get the old infection cleaned out so it can shrink down some. That foot is always going to be bigger due to scarring.
