Hen limping

[Cragg Klefor]

I soaked her foot in epsome salt, then sprayed vetracyin on it, added neosporin, and wrapped it. Is doing that for the foreseeable future ok? Or should I just bite the bullet and cut it out? She is still getting around but is taking easy. When I let them out to free range before bed she came out for a few minutes but then went back in the coop. She got into the nest box tonight instead of on the roost. I left her there since it seem like that might be easier on her foot.

I would think what you are doing could work for this one - just one suggestion, when you soak the foot, see if you can just rub off the scab. It will allow it to heal up quicker. Only time will tell if surgery will be required or not, but I'd be hopeful.
