Ok so I posted about my hen with a huge swollen foot. It looks like big bubbles under the skin. I have been treating with bluecote. We tried to drain it but its solid. It bled a tiny bit but there does not seem to be anything filling it up. Sometimes its hot to the touch. Mostly it feels pretty normal other than it looks like huge marbles were shoved under the skin in her feet. She is now limping and protecting the foot.
I just don't know what to do at this point. Washed it, been trying to keep it clean, we put the lotion on at least once and if I can keep the roo from attacking twice a day. What is going on. The masses on the foot seem pretty dang solid. They are hot and hard. I have a farm vet but they want me to take her to the avian vet over an hour away which is a bit much. The avian vet is also wicked expensive. A parrot with a broken bleeding feather was well over 200. I can't imagine what this would cost me. Any ideas? If she is in much more pain I am afraid the hubby might have to cull. I don't want her suffering and I just can't seem to make this better.
