I'm so worried, I have seven ducks 3 of them have BF, I've got to do something. I don't know what or any they all are getting this. What can u all it stop this. The way its going , all of them will have a BF before it's over...... what can I do....

Ok let’s see how we can help.....
1st let’s get a group of pictures from each duck that has bumblefoot. Get different angles, top bottom and then standing on the foot.

Then we can assist to each one.

Vet appointment went good today. Even though turbo still has a knot on her foot the vet thinks that it's tendon fibers that is causing this, like they are ripped. She doesn't have to take meds, but I have to keep a really good eye on it. And any slight change she will have to back on meds!

TY, I'll get the girls today, I will soak and then pictures before wrapping

This is a sweet baby, she is feisty like the mother hen

That doesn't look that bad, the core will come pretty easily I bet.

If mine I’d soak till that scab pulls off easy then just pluck that core out with sterile tweezers fill the hole with triple antibiotic and wrap check in a few days to make sure no more infection is in there. Keep wrapped till healed. That looks like one of the easy ones. Thank goodness!

Yea I had no problem getting the core out, my problem is it looks like all my girls are getting BF. What can I do to keep thier pen clean... maybe sand ? I'm going to redo there whole spot never the pond. It stays so wet all the time

I don't know @Sandiemouse sand is abrasive too. What is in their pen now? I use pine shaving inside their housing.

I use cedar shavings and pine straw .... it's under bamboo trees and other trees so there is a lot of roots. Is on a down slop but when I rinse it out most all of the dirt is gone. what can I do

 

[Miss Lydia]

Cedar isn’t good for poultry respiratory system the oils are harmful. Where I get shavings has thick and fine maybe see if you can find fine that would be soft on their feet. I believe it was @onaharley who got cut on some straw she put down?
