Horny drake

Definitely bumble on both feet and he for sure had them before you got him. Those are too large to only have progressed over a week.

No question just a rant really. I’m annoyed at myself for not finishing the separate pen earlier. Will the drakes jump the fence? They are anconas.

I got triple antibiotic ointment without pain killers, but the only prid drawing salve they had is pain relief. How bad is it for them? Or can I just use the triple antibiotic ointment

I’m done working on him tonight. I pulled on of the scabs of but I did something wrong cause I can’t find pus. I didn’t work on one of his feet. Can I use hydrogen peroxide spray, the kind For small cuts on the foot.

It make some time before the pus comes together and is visible.

You can use hedrogen peroxide to clean up the wound -- the bubblies will bring out andy debris in the open wound. But its not really necessary if you are doing epsom salt soake before working on the scab.

Keep the feet clean and dry until the next soak.

The ground in the run is really muddy all the time so should I keep him inside? I can bring his brother in if he need someone to spend time with. He will either sleep in my room, the bathtub or the shower

His feet are wrapped and I use the hydrogen peroxide. He seems like he hates me now. He keeps biting me and if I hood up the pink towel that he was retrained with he hisses. He’s just standing with his mouth open to bite me. It doesn’t hurt but like my heart. Hi s he gonna be normal soon or be pissy with me for a while?

Poor baby. It's traumatizing for them when we have to do something to them like working on bumble foot. He'll get over it, offer him something tasty like dried mealworms.
Please only use peroxide one time for initial cleaning, peroxide can harm good healthy skin. Vetricyn spray or something similar and an antibiotic ointment or drawing salve then wrapped is much better.
Did you soak in warm Epsom salt water?

Yes, and I won’t use the peroxide again. I use triple antibiotic ointment(the original kind) and put a gauze pad under his foot the used another to wrap around the foot. I wrapped it in cling wrap because I didn’t have the sled adhesive tape, and taped the top and the meeting edges so it would pull off. My run is very muddy as they pulled a hose out of their kiddie pool so I will have to keep him inside. His brother Peach is separated from the other 2 girls and 2 non matured boys anyway since I have an unmature hen, so should I bring him inside as well to keep Koi company? The cling wrap works it just annoys him because the little cling it has to the ground. Also it catches his feathers
It looks a little weird and lumpy because he has feathers stuck to it and won’t let me take them off.
