I've been treating my little Ameraucana's bumblefoot since April. I think it's finally healed! The little scab that was left finally fell off while I was cleaning and rewrapping tonight.

Both footpads still look at little pink (see pics). Should I keep wrapping it or is she ok to be without the wrap at this point?

I am so ready to be done after 6+ months of treatment!

I would keep wrapping with light gauze, until the pad gets slightly drier, and harder. Gauze will help pad dry out.
A soft tissue on the pad portion, can easily get punctured, and infected.
How is your chickens' walking?? Is it normal like your other hens? or slightly slower, and careful/cautious?
