Pekin with bumble foot

[AngelinaThePekin8]

My mom was able to get some unscented epsom salt yesterday! We also have some vetericin plus anti microbial spray and triple antibiotic ointment for the chicken/duck first aid.
Now I need to get everything ready and hopefully tomorrow or some time soon, I'll start soaking her feet.
I'm going to try wrapping her feet the first few times and see how well that goes and if wrapping doesn't work very well, I'll have my dad order some duck boots. Should I make a fenced in area for Angelina and Duck so they can be in it during the day when they have the wraps on?

Try and get started soon, you wont want the bumble infections to spread- sooner its under control, the better!
I would go ahead with the fenced area, they'll need to stay out of water while their feet are in treatment and being wrapped. It would sure be simpler this way rather than taking the other duck's pool away.

Tomorrow I will make sure to try soaking her feet I need to watch some videos on how to wrap their feet and stuff and I will try to get the fenced in area started as soon as possible. I can't wait for the bumble foot to go away I feel so bad for Angelina, I wish I knew how to treat it better when she first got it.
How big should I make the fenced in spot? Im going to treat Duck and Angelina at the same time.

I think about 5ftx6ft as a minimum is okay. But you may want to make it a little larger for their comfort.

I want to make the fenced spot today, I just don't really know where to put it atm I kinda want to "attach" it to that chicken wire cage thing but I feel like it would get in the way. I go out and measure everything.
This is the tub I'm going to use for soaking their feet.

This thing is roughly 5ft ×4ft.

We have 4 of these posts and lots of chicken wire.

I would probably attach it to the chicken cage as well. Start the wire on one of the cage's wooden corner posts, and space your t-posts about 6-7 ft apart from there, and you should have a decent little space for them to stay in while their wraps are on. You'll want to make sure you give yourself a way in/out too.

So step-by-step I would 1) fully connect the wire to the wooden post in the back, 2) line up two t-posts with the back post and space them 6 ft apart, then 3) line up two more t-posts with the ones you've already set except off the front wooden post this time. 4)With the t-posts set in these positions connect the wire, and 5) connect the front wire to the front wooden post in a way that you can open/close conveniently.

An easy way to open/close your fence without making an actual gate would be to put a nail on the top and bottom of the wooden post, but only drive the nail in halfway or so, so that you can use the nail head to hang/hook the wire on.

Sorry if any of that is a little unclear. I can clarify further, or probably even draw a little picture to help visualize, if you need.

Is there much I should be worried about when treating their feet in the winter?

I continue with the same treatment throughout winter.

Okay, Thank you
