how do obtain anibiotics for bumbled leg?? All the medication that i saw were cillans and they were over the counter medication my mother said and what is probiotic??

Don't use antibiotic's except like triple antibiotic ointment with out pain killer. You have to remove the scab and puss from the bumblefoot and keep foot bandage and change bandage everyday, Just use the search and type in bumblefoot there is some really great information already on here about how to treat it.

 

[jackrooster]

sooo pick the scab and cut open the bubble to drain the puss??

Make sure when you are doing anything with the foot wear rubber gloves. there is staph infection under the scab. Make sure you do the search on here for bumblefoot. Cyn has some really great advice that I followed along with dawg53, on how to remove the scab and puss. It does include soaking the foot and how to remove the bumblefoot. Make sure to do the search that is what I did when my hen had bumblefoot.
