My drakes foot is ALWAYS bleeding??!

Baytril I believe will work on a staph infection, which is what bumblefoot is. You'll still need to clean all the crud out, but if you're worried it's gone systemic you can give him Baytril, which you can buy here:

So I would still do all the usual work plus give him that? What exactly is it? And how would you know it’s systemic

 

[Pyxis]

Baytril is a broad spectrum antibiotic. Yes, you would do all the usual stuff plus give the Baytril.

When it goes systemic is when it kills them. They get sick and then pass away.

It also might help knock it out since this seems to be recurring for him at this point. Kind of like treating it on two fronts.

So you would highly suggest I try to order some of that and give it to him while treating? How often, etc?

And it’s totally safe for him?

It's totally safe. I keep some on hand just in case. It is given orally, and I believe the dosage is .045 ml per pound twice per day.

If he were my duck I'd be trying the Baytril in conjunction with removing all the pus. Can't hurt

I just ordered Baytril since I am dealing with bumble on one of my hens[chicken] I'm thinking hers will heal with out antibiotics but I want to be ready in case I am wrong. Plus having it on hand is a good idea.

Sure hope you can get Aflac through this again for Good this time round.

Oh no!!! sorry to hear this, i feel your pain! I think of you often when soaking mine, knowing that you had to deal with this for almost.....while forever! i have been soaking my boy Ted since May.....i swear this is never going to heal

Do you have a picture you can share of his bumblefoot?

I will get a picture today for you guys to see, just big awful scabs again on his heel yep he’s been dealing with it for over a year easily, and I hate it. I just lost my turkey this morning to whatever he had and I’m pretty heartbroken but now I’m determined to get Aflac better because I won’t lose him too :/ I love that boy. I just wanna see him infection free running around happy with healthy feet already..

We weighed him the other day and he’s definitely not as heavy as I thought he was, I was very surprised to find he was only 6 pounds. So I will give him this orally like down his throat twice a day? Based on his weight? Or?
