Well it's been a week now since cutting the top of her foot open, i switched from peroxide to the Iodine wound spray followed up by the Wound Kote spray,followed up by packing lots of triple antibiotic ointment,and the X hole i made never closed back up,just turned black and seemed dried up,but today when repacking i noticed the big bubble is back,even though its open at the top,squeezing does nothing. Since the opening still hasnt closed/healed shut,i definitely don't want to make another cut...so..since Walmart is an hour and a half drive away round trip ,i think tommorow i'll use my animal iodine wound ,surgical spray( instead of the providone Iodine that i don't have ) mixed with the sugar as you suggested instead of the triple antibiotic ointment...it definitely seems to need some sort of drawing salve on it. I wish i would have known it wasn't Bumblefoot before i cut into it. I'd have made a much smaller cut.

Wondering what happened with your hen? This is currently happening with one of my girls and I’m not sure how to handle it. She has a healed cut on the bottom of her foot but swelling on top of her foot in between her toes. I punctured the bubble with a sterile needle a few times after soaking but only blood came out. I’ve ordered a drawing salve to use to hopefully bring the infection to the surface before I do anything else. After I used wound spray, kote spray, and wrapped with gauze/triple antibiotic ointment. The hen seems to be fine and I didn’t notice right away because she wasn’t limping at all. The dressing is bothering her more than the injury seems to be. Thanks!
