Thank you everyone for all your support and comment. I wanted to share a update. So, a gal farmer young around who i bought the chicken from says i don't want you to-have to put her down, let me come and see her foot. she came we removed lots of hard pieces out of her foot. the swelling is half. she is recovering in the house for a few days...My young gal will return tomorrow night to look at the foot. I cancelled the vet appoint for now to have her put down. Pray with me this works for Gracie...This will be our last hope.Today i made the decision my chicken has suffered for 7 months in a 8 month battle with bumble foot, for 7 months too long. This was on me! All animals have instinct, but I have free will to chose what she went through. The suffering she went through I realize now was selfish. I understand why Vets almost always wont take on chickens. I also understand they are not domestic pets and the minute you try make them one, is a bad idea. I wasn't thinking about what my Gracie was going through, only about how i was going to save her and fix her. Was it about the money? obviously not! So why did this happen? I really don't know, but what I do know,I will never make this mistake again. She deserved to be in heaven with no suffering no pain. Even the procedures i put her through following suggestions I realize now were painful and for some reason i just kept persevering. Ive cried Ive prayed and Ive beat my self up , but now i am at peace because i finally made the decision that brings peace. I got my self out of the way and she will suffer no more. Forgive Me Gracie![]()
