White droppings while on treatment of bumble foot.

[Misbah Amin]

My 1.5 years old ISA brown developed swelling on plantar surface of left claw 1.5 months back. I tried soaking her foot in luke warm salt water but the it wasnt going away so 9 days back I took her to vet,he gave me powder named *Tylodox* and one small bottle of fluid named *multi-vitamin* and asked me to add one tea spoon of each in 1 liter of water and give her only that water so I did as I was told to do but as the water was kind of bitter she wont drink on her own so I would have to make her drink it anyways now its been 9 days and I cant see any improvement in my chicken's limping or swelling and now she's been having white watery droppings since yesterday. I am attaching pics of her droppings below

Often antibiotics (like tylo-dox) can mess with good gut flora and cause diarrhea. You can put it right by feeding live yoghurt.

Is she eating OK? There doesn't look like much food waste in that dropping.

You may need to do some bumblefoot surgery to get the infected bits out of her foot. Can you post pics of the feet here.

Yeah she is eating alright and not lethargic but not very active like she walks if she suspects we are gonna feed her otherwise she sits all the time. I am attaching pic of her foot

15 days back the condition of foot was like this

how long did the vet say to keep giving her the medicine?

That looks like a nasty bumblefoot infection.

It may not be enough to just treat the infection if she is still having to walk on the hard kernel of pus in her feet. It must be very painful for her. Imagine trying to walk around with golf balls taped under your feet.

Is the vet going to do surgery? You may need to if that isn't planned with the vet.

No he has just asked me to stop medication when I showed him pics of droppings and hasnt talked to me about surgery or anything like that at all and I just watched a video on bumblefoot surgery and it seemed so painful like do they use some anesthesia bcz cutting conscious bird like that? It would be hard for me to do that.
