Older hen with possible bumblefoot

Something like this? It would probably be here before I'll be able to go get itView attachment 1045568

Yes, that would work Sometimes it is easier to order online.

She looks quite content in her bucket

She nearly fell asleep a few times

I've been soaking and wraping and such for the last couple days, and tonight I got the bumble out! I didn't think it was that bad but no one else wanted to look while I was doing it. The bumble actually went all the way though the foot.

I put triple antibiotic on and in it and wrapped it again. Is there anything I need to do for her now?

Nice job! Did it come out with tweezers?

Check it after about 24hrs to make sure there is no sign of infection - pus, foul odor, inflamed/hot tissue. If all is well, you can rinse it a little with the betadine, dry and re-apply triple antibiotic ointment then re-wrap. Check it thereafter about every 48hrs.

I hope she recovers with no problems. Keep us posted.

Yeah I got it out with tweezers. She was pretty chill about it the whole time. I'll check it later on today.
