Wow.....That is painful so if you do get really intense and start digging away at the feet he will be lame...I'm advising to go slow....Either way is your choice....

What does that mean go lame?

Wear gloves.

I have been. And washing up afterwards.

I believe you can put it into a leg muscle.....

Intramuscular (in muscle) - Never in the leg or thigh, always in the breast!

Trouble walking because his feet hurt

Yes, remove anything that isn't pink tissue... before worrying about a shot, that all needs to be removed first... it *may* be deep, or may just be right there at that spot, just remove until only healthy tissue is left...

@Miss Lydia posted this link earlier, look through all the pics in this thread and you can see the infection inside the plug and the healthy tissue left after it was removed...

His will most likely need to be wrapped depending on how bad it bleeds once removed, be ready if needed...

For her, just soak today... bumblefoot is a treatment process, takes at least a few days...

So soak and then remove everything and then probably wrap it after to heal? What about iodine? I'm sure he's gonna bleed a lot.. will he Be okay to remove all that.. makes me nervous and sad doing all that. But if Its gonna help.. And ONLY soak for bubbles? Or idoine and bandage too.

Lame = limping

Can you post a video of him walking?

As of right now he doesn't really limp or walk weird at all. But I can try to yes! Before or after doing this nasty surgery though? Because after he may be in pain
