Hen with bubbles on foot

[christinafaught]

@christinafaught Do you have access to vet care?

No vets around me will deal with chickens we drained the abcests and got the plug out for the bumble foot soaked it all in Epsom salt water and bandaged it with antibiotic ointment she is doing much better today she is walking eating drinking like nothing changing bandage tomorrow check the progress

Good job! Antibiotic is still a good idea.

Changed the bandage got more fluid out of the big blister more ointment and bandage she's doing very well

So another bandage change and not any new progress I think it is more like a cyst and I'm worried it will not heal unless it's opened and cleaned out which I don't know how to do and I don't have any numbing agent to not have her be in pain I'm just at a loss no vets deal with chicken in my area

I'm no expert, so this is my lay opinion. If the bubbles are still there I would stand her in a tub of warm water gently touching the bubbles to see if they drain... Maybe prick with a needle. Then take her out and dry her gently and put on some Neosporin ( without pain relief). Keep her in a clean environment... No cement.
