Lets start off, yes, i checked for bumblefoot and as of June 10th she didnt have it, I was not able to check June 11th and now we're in the present: June 12th. HUGE BLISTERS!!

This started as a leg injury, where her knee, or whatever joint they have closest to their stomach was a bit swollen and purple, I could not feel anything wrong inside. Assuming a strain or such— And i also assume it was my peahen that bit her leg, along with pulling it (She's seperated from them, she always has been but she jumped pastures while freeranging)

I think, okay I'll put her in this cage in the copp, bind her leg and wait.

DID I BIND TOO TIGHT??! As today, June 12th I check her and her foot is purple with 2 blisters, one already broken. They're on the flippy flappy parts.. and not the actual bone of the foot, you know?

Can binding that's too tight lead to blisters? What do I do now?

And as I am beginning to finish this, she has bursted both blisters. I mean.. atleast they're out of the way?
 
Sorry to hear about your duck. I don’t have ducks myself, but maybe we could find someone who can help you with this. It’s possible wraps were too tight, but hard to know without seeing pictures. Could you post some?
