Hen with infected earlobe, looks similar to bumblefoot

This is very good.
Oddly satisfying too.

I bet the hen felt so good after that was taken out, poor baby.

The video was very helpful, even though Speedy’s abscess is in the earlobe instead of an actual ear infection.

I cleaned it out as well as I could this morning, and will monitor it. I got some Vetricyn gel into it to try to soften up any little bits that are remaining. This afternoon I will probably try to get some Neosporin (without pain relief) into it. Here are some pics.

What I got out. Wish I could have gotten it in a single clump but couldn’t without cutting the opening larger.

Well done, this solidified puss needed to come out.

Looks like it's under his nostril rather than in the earlobe(which looks intact to the right of abscess.

That is definitely better out than in!
Well done.

The beak and nostril can not be seen in this picture as they are situated in the right upper part outside the picture.

Nice job!

Nice job!

Is there a hole in the ear lobe? I never noticed it before.
