White earlobes and bumblefoot

[Smileybans]

Do you happen to have triple antibiotic ointment?

Changing the bandage daily shouldn't hurt anything.

Is neosporin the same thing?

Is neosporin the same thing?

Yes as long as it says “triple antibiotic” on it

Is neosporin the same thing?

Yes it is. Just use Original Neosporin without pain relief.

Yes it is. Just use Original Neosporin without pain relief.

The original is what I have. It has the same ingredients listed as triple antibiotic ointment. This is what I have.

I think I’ll keep his foot wrapped, unless his wrappings get wet, until Friday. The vet is coming back to look at him then.

This ointment is fine to use.

Sounds like a good plan. Keep me posted on how he gets along.

Is this ok to take the bandage off now?

@Wyorp Rock The vet wrapped and packed Monsters wound. She used some SSD and slathered it all over his wound. She told me to leave the wrapping on until Monday then let her know how it looks.

My chickens have white earlobes too and there’s nothing wrong with them!

Yes, but production reds are not supposed to have white earlobes.

I would follow the vet's advice and leave it wrapped.

Sorry that I wasn’t clear. The vet only looked at Monster. He has the gash on his foot.

The one with bumblefoot is the hen with the white on her earlobes. I was wondering if her bumblefoot looked healed enough to remove the bandage.

I am following the vets advice for Monster however. I did want to update you and was wondering if you have ever used SSD ointment before. The vet recommended it and gave me some for his foot.

 

[Wyorp Rock]

I've never used SSD, I've seen vet's recommend it, I believe it's prescription only.

As for the hen's foot. I think I would still wrap it and let it close up more. You don't want debris getting stuck in there.
