    Bumblefoot - how to help easily.

    I got 6 new layers in April. I would say 3 were robust, but lots of green and vitamins and extra protein seemed to help them all. Anyways, we've had a few issues, that are sorted, mostly poopy vents and lice that came with a vengeance in the spring, first time for that beauty. But today, I...

    Doktor doom lice spray?

    I’ve been trying to treat one of my guineas for suspected bumble foot and come to the conclusion that it’s mites. There’s no bumble foot root and no scab anywhere and it’s both feet that are affected. She’s not easy to catch, so I’ve been periodically epsom salt soaking her feet and then...

    Rescued Hen with Bumblefoot... and Gout? Tumor?

    A couple weeks ago we adopted three hens from a rescue group. They were rescued from a retiring farmer who was keeping several thousand hens in poor conditions, including insufficient food and water. About a week after adopting them, one of them started hiding, was lethargic, and had reduced...

    Is this bumblefoot? Please help!

    Today when I picked up one of my quails I saw that one of her feet is swollen. I soaked her feet in warm water and I took the photo afterwards. I've already seen bumblefoot on a chicken but I have no idea what to do. Is this even bumblefoot? What should I do?

    Recurring Bumblefoot? Early stages? (Photos)

    I've posted before about my ~1 year old GLD who had severe bumble foot on the bottoms of both feet a few months back. She had surgery, and had since healed beautifully. Sadly, the last few days we've been getting abnormally torrential rains and it's been next to impossible to keep her run dry...

    Okay this is pretty long and I’m not sure if anyone else has ever experienced this before so bear with me About a week and a half ago I took my rainbow Dixie to the vet because her foot was absolutely huge.

    Does this Bumblefoot Look Healed?

    Hi! We recently dealt with a double-bumblefoot issue in one of our hens that was pretty far along. We had the vet do surgery to remove the plugs (she had one on each foot). We then have been soaking, cleaning, and bandaging her for the last 2 months, hoping we wouldn't have to do another...
