I just use a large bucket to soak feet in sit the duck etc down into it feet first and hold onto it so they can't jump out.

I just finish soaking and already bandaged him up with ointment and left he kinda ticked me off today cause he kept jumping out of the water and running around in the dirt and mud so I kept having to add time to his soak and then when it was up I had to hurry and apply the triple antibiotic ointment and bandage him and bubbles both up good and leave cause I'm currently on my way to a date with my Ronnie. Aflac really tested my patience today bubbles too they didn't wanna cooperate and kept jumping out and running on the nasty floor

When I go back out tomorrow though I'm gonna be soaking again and applying ointment and bandaged to them both again so I will post pics of the feet then

sorry but i had to giggle at this image in my head, but it sounds like they are feeling a lot better

A plastic tote like one of these, no lid... make sure the top of it is wider than their foot bath pan... depending on how deep the tote is and how tall they are, cut out a hole on one end either in the bottom or the side near the bottom... make sure their head fits through hole easily, flip over them and the foot bath pan... weight it down really well, and that should keep them from drinking and also jumping out... does that make sense?

good idea

That's what Ronnie was doing for Aflac but I can't find the dang bucket

I know they are SUCH brats! I was like yelling at them and my mom and I would have to chase them and catch them!! I was like no you have to finish the dang soaks and you can't be getting your feet dirty! Not to mention the day before yesterday, when I had Aflac upside down by his feet bandaging him, he pooped in my face

So here's Aflacs feet today after the salt soak, I applied triple antibiotic ointment and bandages after as I have been. What do you guys think? Should I continue with what I'm doing or what? I just want him to heal up.

And here's Bubbles feet. Did soak and applied ointment and bandages to her too. What do you guys think? I need exact steps for tomorrow

 

[danielley101215]

I think you have done a good job, would like to see his feet after soaking if you don't mind.

Check out the pics I posted and tell me what you think

We think we pretty much have both feet down to healthy tissue, I've been in contact with @Ravynscroft over the phone, I'm hoping they can just heal up now, gonna check the feet again tomorrow really hoping they can heal and go back

Compared to last week, you can see how much better the surrounding tissue looks. How is the center of the bumble area looking now, before you put the ointment on?
I think you are doing great!

Edit- darn, the pics from last week didn't come over with that quote.
