Meds 7-10 days and I'd keep her on clean bedding till scabbed over so no bacteria can get inside. Her feet really don't look bad at all, but when you mentioned the heat and swelling that raises a red flag that the infection is pretty bad. I'm just saying that was why I mentioned giving her the antibiotics
Do you know if the meds will help her scabs heal up faster?
Since I am treating a chicken with bumble, every 3-4 days I am removing the scab in the evening, cleaning out any remaining pus putting the iodine inside and all over the top too, then I take her and put her on the roost, it's scabbed back over by morning, amazing I know. So if she is scabbed over and nothing is open I'd give her time with the flock, only problem being once you start the antibiotic either you'll be treating them all or you'll have to put her back inside by herself. I'd also get some kind of probiotic for livestock to give her after treatment since this med will kill good and bad bacteria. Maybe give her some special time with the flock in the morning then confine her for the rest of the day and night to treat and make sure she is getting the meds. I know it's a pain but hopefully will get rid of any bacteria left inside along with what your doing on the outside.Do you know if the meds will help her scabs heal up faster?
Shes in the garage by herself in a sawdust pen, has a bucket of water she can clean her nose with, and food 24/7. Shes been getting very upset with being alone however
