How diI just wanted to share my joy in curing my hen with bumble foot using homeopathy. I wish I had thought to photo document it.
We just had our second experience with bumble foot. The first hen we had with it, sadly had to be euthanized. I was super worried when I saw it in my young layer. She had two classic black spots on the pad of her foot, and a very large swollen, red mass protruding from the top. I really don't like the DIY surgical option as it just seems so painful and cruel. I have used homeopathy for many years for my family and pets with great success...but, I know what a booger bumble foot can be.
I immediately started my hen on a combo of Hepar Sulph Calc 30c, Arnica Montana 200c, and Silicia 6x. I diluted in water and then added it to every water dish for the flock, daily. It took about a week before we saw the infection begin to come to a head out of the top of her foot. After two weeks, the pocket broke through the skin and began to ooze out. At this point I also started spraying her foot with a combo of DMSO with Chlorine Dioxide every night as she was roosting. I continued with the homeopathic combo for a month. After the initial oozing stopped, the core of the bumble began to make its way out of the wound like a nasty, long worm. It took about another two weeks to work itself all the way out, so about a month total of healing and using homeopathics.
Today, her foot looks completely normal. No wound, no swelling, no limping, nothing! What a praise! Homeopathy is truly a miracle medicine. I hope this can help someone else who might have to face this in the future.
Blessings!
When you said you place them in water, did you put the pellets in a cup of water then added to their regular water? If so, how much per gallon? Can I just put some pellets in a gallon of water and let them drink?I just wanted to share my joy in curing my hen with bumble foot using homeopathy. I wish I had thought to photo document it.
