After reading numerous articles here about treatment for bumblefoot I tried it on my largest RIR Penny.
I soaked her foot in Epsom salt and while she was soaking, very calmly I might add, I used a soft toothbrush to clean up her feet.After cleaning everything with betadine solution I was able to pull the black dot off her foot very easily but nothing besides a little pus came out with a few little stringy things. It bled a little but not bad. I did not have to cut it.
I continued to pick at it a little with tiny forceps and tweezers but didn't get much. Het pad was very soft but she does have 2 small balls on the top of her foot between her toes.
I wiped her foot again in betadine and
I took a small pad and put Neosporin on it and then wrapped her foot with lime green vet wrap.
She is doing great today. Later I will change the bandage.
Is there anything I should do to the little balls on the top of her feet?? Anything else for treatment? Does she need antibiotics???
I have Ericlor powder antibiotic but I don't know if that is appropriate nor can I figure out a single dose.
Thanks for any imput!!
