Iguess im just looking at everything at this point.Ive got a horrible feeling im going to have to do the bumblefoot surgery.Ive only done it once,but it was no where near this bad.i dont mind doing the surgery,i just hate the thought of causing pain.If i was sure they were not in pain i wouldnt mind.I forgot to mention i also have her on an antibiotic,whether its bumblefoot or not,she definitely has some kind of infection going on..

Ok,so i added some pics i think are a little better.

Upon closer examination this morning after i soaked her in epsom salts,the round dark area doesnt really look like a scab,just a dark spot,but still not sure.i did more research and found some info on vetericyn so i went and got some and sprayed her feet heavily.I will do this 3-4 times a day and continue to soak her in the epsom salts twice a day and see if she improves.I will also continue the duramycin.Before i soaked her this morning she was putting some weight on her foot,so maybe its feeling a little better.

Sounds like you're making good progress

Thank you for the extra pictures! I agree with you that it's not looking like a scab. I've seen pictures on here of really bad scaly leg mite cases where the foot or feet looked deformed, and after several days of soaking pieces of the dry scaly material sloughs off. I'm hoping that's what you're seeing and not bumblefoot. Please Keep us posted

Thanks,now shes holding her other foot up,and i thought that was the good one..lol If i dont see a change using the vetericyn then i guess ill try using the triple antibiotic and wrap both feet.I just dont want it to spread and i loose her.I may have to lance it,but i really dont want to have to do that..
