Also I have some trimethoprim sulfa that I had for one of my hens that had an infection but ended up not needing- would that help Iris’s bumblefoot?My poor hen Iris has bumblefoot. I have been treating it with tricide neo soaks, which has always worked for all other cases of bumblefoot my chickens have had before, but this must have been an advanced case because Iris started limping today. The area between her toes is swollen too. After today’s soak I removed the scab and squeezed and picked the white stuff in the foot, but it’s kind of like strand material that doesn’t really come out. I soaked her foot and tried again, but still not getting any solid material out. The hole is big and I am not going to cut into it to make it bigger, but what else can I do to get the kernel out? I put some neosporin on it and wrapped it and will try to get out again tomorrow. Any suggestions EXCEPT for cutting into the pad is appreciated.
