    Bumblefoot Question

    Bumblefoot with no pus?

    One of my hens has two marks on her feet that resemble the brown scabs that look like bumblefoot. I’ve been soaking both feet in epsom salts and doing normal treatment and always making sure to wrap the feet carefully. Whenever I remove the top of the scab, theres no pus underneath. I saw...

    Is this bumblefoot? Please help

    I have a 3mo old Salmon Faverolle who is limping and has a black circle scab on her foot. I am a first time chicken mum, should I take her to the vet? It looks like she’s in pain and I’ve been spraying the vetericyn on her injury twice a day and cleaned out her bedding area. What should I do?

    Metacam dose for rooster

    My rooster is 2.6kg or 5 lbs He was in the vet today for bumblefoot, as we haven't been able to fix it ourselves. The vet prescribed clavamox 375mg once every 12 hours And metacam (1.5 mg/ml) She prescribed the metacam at 13ml every 12 hours - that seems super high to me? My 37 kg dog gets 37 ml...

    Severe bumblefoot?

    So a few weeks ago, we noticed our rooster, Hugo, had a large swollen area on his foot/ankle. It didn’t appear to be bumblefoot at first because it was higher up on his foot and didn’t have the “scabbed” area. He was still getting around okay, so we decided to watch it. As time went on, we...

    Rooster limping

    My Rooster, Redd has been limping. His legs felt warm when I picked him up and I'm not sure what the problem is. Also he is roosting at the other end of the roost away from the rest of the flock.

    Need advice on bumblefoot

    A few days ago, I discovered my favorite chicken, a 5-year-old female buff Orpington, has bumblefoot on both her feet (stage 3 or 4). I don’t think her feet are swollen, but she has 2 dark scabs. I’ve noticed she walks a little weird sometimes and might be sleeping a little more than usual...

    Trying to remove bumblefoot from rooster. No kernel or anything—what do I do?

    My family and I have tried to remove our rooster’s bumblefoot, but the scab is so thick, and no matter how dig we deep, there’s no pus, no kernel, or anything—just blood and only blood. I’m honestly at a loss and stumped on what to do. Anything would help at this point. Thanks — Harun

I make it a practice to check our flocks' feet every few weeks as they are free range and I want to head off any problems. Everything is...

    Stubborn, Painful Bumblefoot - No Core

    My 4 y/o GLW, Drucie, has struggled with bumblefoot on and off for most of her life. Whenever we finally get her to heal up, she always gets it back--and, notably, it always flares up during peak laying season (as if the act of laying causes system-wide inflammation). Anyway, a couple weeks...
