Hello all, Just want to give one last update. Last night my roo decided he would roost up on my deck. He has not been able to roost since the bumble foot started, he hadnt even tried so I was very excited. I know that all isnt well with the foot, I keep seeing some pockets of infection but...

Hi, just thought I would drop in and post an update. Hope everyone is haveing a great Labor Day. Well I bought something called Blue Kote and I sprayed his foot with it, it seems to keep it dryed out. So now he has a blue foot and I have a blue hand OH WELL! I let him out of his dog house...

Ruth, Thanks kind of what I though. I bought some more wound stuff so I can keep it dry. If it ever stops raining here I want to get somemore pics so you can see it. I will keep you posted. Thanks Terri

Hi RedHen, I live in Missouri, I need to fix that in my profile. Anyway I know Baytril is good for a lot of things. I swear this bumble foot is just weird. I think I have pretty much interviened as much as I am going to but thanks for the info from you vet I will keep that in mind. Ruth as...

Hi Ruth - Dont worry I have no intention of taking the foot off. After I thought a while this morning I decided because the blister showed up after the surgery that it might be drainage so for now I am treating it like that. We have a like mind on this stuff, I left the foot uncovered before I...

No there wasn't any smell at all. I ran out of poroxide so I will get some tomorrow and see if that helps any along with the penicillin shots I am hoping to get a handle on it. I am just not sure how to proceed I hate to take the foot at this point anyway. Thanks for your thoughts.

Hello, well I took the bandage off today and I think the toe look really good. There is a blister looking thing at the base of the toe, I popped it and it had lots of white fluid in it. I also noticed that across the top of the foot it is soft a mushy which I believe to also be fluid. So what...

Dani I too kiss my chickens as well as my goats and any other creature that come to live with me. I went out and talked to him this morning and he acts fine. He is eating alright so so far so good. I have had some awsome help from lots of great chicken folks. I have never tried to go this...

Ruth - my worry now is if there is more in the pad but I just couldn't do anymore cutting today. He was so good at one point his eyes looked like they were rolling up in his head but I guess not because as soon as I got it wrapped he couldnt wait to eat and he has been talking all day. Thanks...

Chickerdoodle and Chickenlady Well actually I have pics of the piece that came out. I will post them but if anyone has a weak stomach you may not want to look.

Sorry I havent posted an update lately. Had a raccon taking my ducks so I had to do some rebuilding and re wiring. Well today I just sat down with my roo and we decided that I had to cut deeper into the toe to see what was keeping the upper part of the toe so hugh. I proceeded to do so and...

Ruth - I can cut further into the pad, my concern is from the top of the toe halfway down it is just hard swollen and cutting just created lots of blood - do you think I need to cut deeper into that part or maybe cut down the side of the toe? Chicken Doodle - thanks for the link. i will mix...

Good Evening, Well I unwrapped his toe and soaked it in iodine and epsom salts. The spot I dug out was full again so I dug it out again. I was wondering, the lower part of the toe I can get stuff out of but the upper part of the toe all I get is blood. Do you all think that I need to open up...

Chickenaddict - I am hopefully he will recover. I will soak his foot as you describe. Thanks for all to good info so I could do this. Thanks Chickerdoodle - I actually do know who to wrap it, I had so practice on another Roo who had a foot injury and that bumble foot wrap directions works...

I did it, I cut from the toe down and I just got lots and lots of blood. I knew I couldnt stop so I cut down closer to the pad and finally I found it cheezey stuff. I dug and squeezed until I didnt get any more. I packed it with Neo. and wrapped it up. I really felt bad for the Roo, he was...

Chickenaddict I appreciate your kind words. I know what you mean about losing a toe, I have several roos for whatever reason have lost a piece or the whole toe and they get along just fine. I am waiting until this evening to do this as it is very hot and humid and I dont want to rush doing...

OK I will operate on it. I appreciate all the great information. I will let you all know how things go. Thanks again Terri

Ruth, Thanks for being so specific. I have soaked with epson salts over a 2 wk perior about 3 weeks ago but that did not help. I talked to the guy at First State and he sent me the Penicellin and I have don that. The chicken feels a lot better but the toe is not. I wanted to lance it but...

Well this poor rooster is just not doing well at all. I have been giving him Penicilliam injections for 4 days now - he seems to feel better but his swollen toe is twice as big as it was. I have tried to find somewhere to lance it to give him some help but I never have. I used the syringe to...

Chickerdoodle, Thank you so much - I will do the pic thing we have a vet teaching hospital in Missouri so I can start there. I will look at what the pen G is also. Lynxs1981 that is a great thought, at least it would give me a place to try and get something out of. I will do that tonight...
