Please Help!!! BumbleFoot

[RedDrgn]

Also, be patient! Bumblefoot can be a persistent bugger. Some heal up quickly and other cases seem to linger, even when you treat them all the same. Just keep at them, clean consistently, and be patient.

I've seen instances where several of my chickens had the telltale dark scab on their footpad but there wasnt any redness, swelling, nor were they limping. I actually performed minor surgery on one and found nothing. I learned that it's only best to do the surgery only if they are limping, have redness or swelling in or around the scab. Otherwise it's a waste of time and causing undue stress on the chicken(s.) It seems the scabs fall off on their own.
Bottomline....dont do the surgery unless there's redness, swelling and/or limping or any combination of these.

I agree

That's what I thought. Chickens get scabs on their feet all the time.
