No blood today - yet!
I also noticed this one one of their feet, will this clear up?
It looks like a small infection, the skin around it looks slightly pink and irritated.

I know it's only tiny, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

The photo in your other thread is a bit clearer.
If it were my chick, yes, I would address it. Looks like pus under the skin to me.
You are in Ireland, so let's go over what you have for supplies before you do anything to the foot :) I see you mentioned you have epsom salts. What else? Iodine or Betadine/Povidone Iodine, Vetericyn, triple antibiotic ointment, Chlorhexidine? Tell us what you have.

That's the problem.
I literally don't have anything else.
You're right. It does look like that. Sorry the photo wasn't clear. She was screaming at me. :confused:
Well, that's o.k. if you currently don't have anything else right this minute, but what can you get in the near future? I would have some supplies on hand before messing with it.
I don't know what you have available - so if you can list a few things, we hopefully can help you pick out the right product(s).
 
Not a clue.
Sorry, I just really don't know. I think if I have to deal with it, it'll be the stuff I have. It's pretty hard rn with Covid. We've just come out of lockdown but the numbers are going back up.
If you didn't have anything else to treat it with, what would you do, personally?
The epsom salts might help?
Thanks.

What do you have in your home first aid kit - any antibiotic ointment like Neosporin, Germolene, Mercurochrome....? Anything like that? What do you put on a cut if you were to cut yourself?
 
We have antiseptic cream. That's all.
We don't even use the box.
I've never put anything on a cut. I don't even use plasters.
Would the antiseptic cream be any use?
Can you take a photo of the cream tube and it's ingredients?

@coach723 may have some homeopathic/natural remedy ideas as well. I don't know enough about herbs/spices/oils to recommend anything soo....:)
