I have never performed surgery to the abdomen but if I had to I most certainly would. We bought some chickens that supposedly were at least 1 1/2 years old. Anyways, 2 of them had Bumblefoot. I was totally scared to cut them open esp. in the foot (really didn't have to cut to much open) but I was scared to death. After researching I discovered what it was and found a treatment for it. I had to perform the surgery several times and after the 1st time the 2nd wasn't so bad.
I would look for treatments and try the best that I could and they are each doing fine. I even took one to the vet to check to see how well I was doing. I had done it. and I was happy to help them. It is amazing how much they can endure, but you need to do something or else she won't make it. Trying to help her is better than not trying. YOU CAN DO IT!
