Swollen foot

[Anime2lover]

Actually I did not I cut into her foot and got nothing out of it and it just didn’t want to heal so I kept soaking it for 10 mins everday for about a month and her skin began to come off on bottom of foot and one day when a patch came off it had some hard stinky pus and we got all out and rapped her foot. It seemed to be healing but the swelling never went away it got smaller but never went small again. So after 2 months I just left it alone then in between one part of her toes began to ooze out hard pus so I soaked it cut it out and began again. But ever so often a part will ooze and I will soak and rap it but it has never healed I think its in her bone.
She is happy still laying eggs eating drinking and middle of peeking order so we just treat it when it flares up. I would take her to a vet but there are none in my area that see chickens when I called around about it everyone laughed at me when I asked. Sorry I couldn’t be more help. Her foot is still swollen but not as big as it started out.

Pekin. It's really in her bone then it will likely get into her blood... as for it not going back to normal size after surgery, that is normal. I have a hen that got a bumble on her foot pad. It's gone now but the foot pad stayed larger.

Interesting. Appreciate you sharing. Sounds like she has been an exceptional patient. Glad to hear she is well and you’re able to manage it. I’ll keep this in mind. Best wishes!
