Chicken bumblefoot on intrepads?

[OopsiePepsi]

Hello all,

I've been treating the bumblefoot on my chicken for months.

At the beginning the infection were mainly on the foot pads, then couple months later after the treatment, there started having infection on the interpads, while the foot pads were healed.

I usually clean with betaine, and scrap with surgical blades to remove the pus slowly, then betadine and saline solution. Apply some sulfapyridine and wrap with adhesive bandage. I do almost everyday.

I wonder if anyone has the similar experience with this, if I apply the bandage too tight or it is actually some other kind of disease.

Thank you.

If this has been going on for months, it's likely time to seek vet care if possible. She may have infection to the bone, hard to know.
