Ideas on End of Toe Bumblefoot Treatment

[AquaCluck]

Vetricin spray. Love that stuff, you could try that. It's liquid in a squirt bottle. It's annoying to apply several times a day but it's not ointment so there's no "goo" for things to stick to. I had a hed who had the back of her head basically pecked off. The hole was the size of a silver dollar, and I kept her in my bathroom for a month and a half and used Vetricin. The skin slowly closed up.

I'll be trying it on my turkey hen with bumblefoot once I bring her in tomorrow morning.

Good morning! Do you believe my sweet Tom girl is ready to do some free ranging again just yet or does she need more healing time? There is no open wound, but it's still obvious where her infection was from a slight scar. @Isaac 0 @Miss Lydia

If the wound is healed and she’s walking good try her out! Foot looks a little swollen or is it the same as the other?

Looks good to me!

I'll get a picture of her standing on both feet rather than holding her. I guess it's a possibility that it's swollen, but I'm hoping it's just the camera angle. I took this picture of both feet, but I was holding her so the angle was different for the other foot. So my internet is being ridiculous and taking forever to load pictures. I should add that she is using her entire foot, even to the toes, (as opposed to using just the back of her foot more) to move around and has no limp at all. It does look a little bit different than the other foot though. Poor girl. I'm working on getting a new picture and trying to upload the picture I took earlier. She's just pacing along the edge of the fence, but I don't want her to go back out too soon. I'd much rather her be sad and disappointed than unwell/at risk from something treatable that I didn't treat properly.

I'll be back with a new picture

She's not too happy with me and not giving her full cooperation (wishful thinking), so I hope these pictures will be helpful in forming your experienced opinions. Thank you all so much for your time and knowledge. I sincerely appreciate it!

Her feet look fine to me, but one looks pointed inwards. Does she trip over her feet very often?

 

[Miss Lydia]

That's better. Let that girl out to forage with her family! You did a fantastic job there by the way!

The top picture is her attempts at escaping while I'm trying to get a picture. They're normally facing forward. She's such a little cutie patootie when she's mad (and any other time). No tripping, thankfully, at least on her feet

Make sure to post some pics when she is out with her buddies!
