necrotic spur? I need advice how to proceed

[Perris]

Can I ask you how long took to cure it?

By 'cure' do you mean stop bleeding? Or heal over?

If the first, both had stopped before I spotted that he'd lost them (both times), so I'd say within the day, if not the hour.

If the second, it was difficult to spot the site of the loss by the end of a month. As you can see from the second photo, which was taken about 6 months later than the first, it's so completely healed that one wouldn't know there ever was a spur on the right leg. But they are both very obvious here, taken last year

Any new ideas?

my guess would be it's weeping a bit, plasma or similar, and the dander is sticking to it. I'd just leave it alone to heal. It will dry on its own and he will clean off the feathers (or they will fall off) when he dustbathes.

I did mean heal over, but it's incredible how fast has stop bleeding, it's good to know. It seems good that healed in a month too because it was like the bone itself has been cutted. Thank you for answer.

I hope so. I'll be updating with pics in case something changes. Thank you

Ah my bad for completely skipping over that the spur had fallen off.

For me, when in doubt Neosporin or honey. It won't hurt anything and you wouldn't have to bandage it. Just slather whenever you get out there. Otherwise, yeah, you could leave him alone and see. Just pay attention to the leg for any signs of infection.

I think I'll let him alone by now but paying attention if I notice changes and sharing it with you guys. Thank you all for helping me.

This is what I'd do, leave it alone.
