    Topical Pain relief for chickens

    I've been told not to use neosporin with pain relief as well as any active ingredient that ends in -aine, on my chicken. In another thread, it seemed like many were saying one time use is probably okay as long as you don't use it repeatedly. I was considering using a Lidocaine spray product at...

    Is this bumblefoot?

    Hi! I've never dealt with bumblefoot before, but was inspecting my runner duck's foot and saw this scab. It isn't bothering her, but was wondering if this looks like bumblefoot. Is there anything I should do for this? Thanks so much in advance!!

    HELP! Is this bumble foot healing?

    Hello! I have a 5 year old Amerecauna with bumble foot on the pad of her toe. She had it a while ago, but then it was healing and the swelling was going down. Wasn’t hurting her, no big deal. I must’ve not treated it long enough, because a few days ago I see it back. And much deeper. The first...

    Need Bumblefoot help please

    I have a chicken that had Bumblefoot, she showed the classic scab on the bottom of both her feet. I have been treating it with epsom soaks, vetricyn, neosporin, and prid for over a week now. Her classic Bumblefoot scab has gone away and is replaced by a new scab. Does this mean it is healing on...

    Bumblefoot

    I'm treating a hen for bumblefoot. A kernel was removed last night from the bottom of her foot (pic below). She still has this swelling on top of her foot today. It is a little warm. Does this normally resolve, or will I need to lance the top of her foot as well?

    Bumblefoot help!

    Poor Tippy can’t catch a break.. first a rat chewed her foot as a baby so she is missing a couple toes, and now she has a bumble on that same foot. Photo series progression of discovery, after cleaning/pus removal, and from today’s dressing check. My question is: Is this thing actually healing...

    Does this foot look normal?

    Is it possible she's just molting? She is a little on her neck.

    Quail: Broken Leg or Bumble Foot?

    Hey all, I’m a new backyard quail owner with 10 Pharaoh chicks. This morning, noticed this 5 wk male with a blue foot and blue upper leg. Not sure if bumble foot, a break, or something else. Gave him a warm bath and dried him off, but not sure what to do next. Thank you in advance!

    Second opinion of Bumblefoot

    Aloha all, I have a year old Olive egger who has been limping around for about two weeks. Today I snagged her to take a look at her feet. I'm almost certain she has Bumblefoot, but I wanted to get confirmation before I try any at home treatment. There are no poultry vets where I live, though I...

    Hi all. This is a lady from my very first flock. She’s 8 weeks old. They’ve been in their outdoor run/coop for a week or so. They stay in the run (w/ access to coop during the day) + get to free range when I’m home. Yesterday I let them out of the run and she was fine as far as I know. They...

    Is this bumblefoot?

    One of my chicks has bumps on their feet like it's a bit swollen. They're walking just fine and when I press on it, it doesn't seem to hurt. I've never seen anything like this and none of the other chicks have it as far as I can tell. Is it bumblefoot or something else? What's the best way to...
