Swollen Rooster Foot

[Jlswan]

Hello,
Our two year old Buff Brahma Rooster Bubbles has some swelling and redness, mostly on one foot, a little on the other. We soaked his feet in epsom salt water for about 30min. And we have had him isolated as he is limping on the more swollen foot. My husband trimmed his foot feathers to get a better look so we didn’t miss anything…we are not sure what his ailment is. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!!

Seems to be bumble foot.

Looks more like an infection on his feather shafts. I've not seen this before or dealt with it but I would put some antibiotic ointment on his feet daily. I would also give him vitamins & electrolytes like Rooster Booster in his drinking water to boost his immune system while he fights whatever this is.

I would also lean towards folliculitis or even a cellulitis. Keep soaking the foot in warm water to draw out pus but with the swelling and edema if you could get him on antibiotics (oral or injectable) for a couple weeks that would be best, topical won’t touch this bad boy!
