"Shoes" for ducks to wear while healing from bumblefoot

[Quacking up]

Does anyone know of a place to order a covering for ducks' feet while they recover from bumblefoot? This picture was posted in 2010 on here and someone named Nettie used to make these "shoes." Does anyone know if they are still available to purchase? Thanks!

I bought some Birdie booties but the size was too small.
I just used maxi pads while I waited on them to arrive- like the overnight ones that are super long. Since they are packaged already folded it made an easy fit for their webbed foot. Then I wrapped it like crazy with waterproof tape and viola!
Worked pretty good for us!

Here's the link for the actual boots though. For my Pekins I wish I had ordered the larger goose size though

Well the toughest part was I was trying to wrap her foot but I kept folding it up and she couldn't walk. The maxi pad at least gave her room to keep her foot open wide before I wrapped it, and it had cushion and protection too!
I mean if it keeps stuff it, it should keep stuff out, right?!

I wouldn't spend money on something that can be easily recreated at home. Take some medical wrap, and wrap the affected area in a way that supports the ankle. It provides good protection too. Best wishes!

How long did you leave it on? Did you rebandage and replace every couple days or leave on for like a week? Was there after bumble surgery or instead of getting/doing the surgery?

it should probably be rebandaged after daily epsom salt soaks/treatments, then freshly wrapped. If you leave the same dirty bandage on for multiple days, I imagine its not going to help get rid of the infection

Thanks so much for your help!
