Wanted to post this about Bumblefoot

[TennesseeTruly]

We're having a heck of a time with our Lucy and Bumblefoot. I was searching the net to see if there was anything else we could do and I found this. Hope this helps someone.

We had to do major surgery with Lucy today. It seemed like no matter what we're doing, its not enough. I'm hoping what we did today, changed that.

I have some very extensive treatment records of my 8 ducks and Bumblefoot. Email me if you want them. I also have many pics of before, during and after (healed nicely). Really, I think you should see them.

Good stuff in this thread, including boots for their feet while they heal!

I'm waiting for boots from Nettie. Right now we have our Lucy's feet wrapped in Vet Wrap. We're changing it 3 times a day. Letting her soak in the tub with Epsom salts, cleaning out the wound. I just don't want to lose her.

Did you find my records & pics helpful?

I just looked at the pics. I remember seeing them on here. I forwarded them to my husband. Our Lucy is not as bad as your ducks so I'm hoping hers will heal up as nicely as yours have. The difference is so drastic!

Our Pekins are our 8 year old grandson's and he's been so upset. I showed him the pics of your ducks and how much they healed up. He feels better knowing that Lucy may heal up like that too.

Thank you so much for everything!!
