Bumble foot?

[mi2bugz]

As a novice chicken raiser should I not attempt lancing at home? Recommend vet?

Thank you

not a bumble foot, bumble foot is a black dot and thee chicken limps. possibly vet if u cant treat it yourself or if its very severe.

I have a chicken that has a blister on the top of her foot! I'm not sure what to do about it but it doesn't appear to be bumble foot. It looks clear no black dot.

it is bumble foot, that has progressed between her toes.
Start from the bottom of her foot by soaking; cutting and squeezing
to pop out the kernel...the core of infection.

there are numerous threads with photos on how to deal with this
problem. I'm dealing with it now- takes along time to get rid of it.

It is common to get bumblefoot between the toes. There may be a black spot on the foot pad too. Here is a good link bout bumblefoot with a video on the surgery and a second link with a similar picture: http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2011/07/bumblefoot-causes-treatment-warning.html
