I have a large 7 month old female Aylesbury who had a minor case of bumblefoot on her right foot. I treated it with Vetericyn vf plus and it has pretty much healed. There is no swelling, the scab is almost gone, both legs are the same temperature and not alarming warm. She was limping slightly before and during treatment. She has been isolated in a small play yard during the day to limit movement but to allow her to get fresh air and sunshine. At night she is kept in a medium sized dog crate on fresh pine shavings. Now that the bumblefoot is almost gone, she can barely walk. Her limp is severe and she cannot bear weight on the right foot. She still has a very healthy appetite and drinks like normal, neither were affected by the bumblefoot. She is alert and desperately wants to be active. We do not have any poultry vets in our area so I am limited on professional treatment. Any suggestions on why the limp would be getting worse, or what I can do to help her feel better?
