Can you treat breast blisters, and if so how?

The only one I had I lanced, flushed, and gave amoxicillin.

Did you cover it to keep it clean while healing?

Okay, so I just talked to the breeder and got news!

I mentioned the lump and he said that they have a tendency to not roost and get breast blisters! So I guess I finally have answer!

Did the breeder recommend any type of treatment since it seems like this may be common with the birds?

Unfortunately he didn’t.

What would your advice be? From what I’ve read, it seems most lance it, flush it out, wrap it and treat with antibiotics.

The one I treated was really bad.

Did you flush it every day? And how long did you keep it wrapped for?

I flushed it once and left it wrapped for several days.
