@coach723 Has a great recommendation in response to your post (if you havent seen it). I've not tried sugardine yet but have heard good things. It's definitely on my list of next steps should I need additional measures. So far using corn pads positioned so that the hole is over the bumble has...

so you use essential oils with no bandages needed? I may try that--especially for early stages when padding doesn't seem necessary. Are the amounts you noted per each foot or does it make a large amount I can use multiple times? I agree that I need to drum up the courage to trim her nails. I'll...

Baytril has been my go-to for reproductive issues. At least so far, it seems to be the only thing that really knocks infections like EYP out. I'm not sure if it's the baytril or time/healing, but Dru is doing better. The corn pad also seems to have provided instant relief. I appreciate you...

Thanks for the pointers! I will up the vitamin A and work on trimming her talons. I scarred myself by cutting the quick once and it's been hard to work up the courage to try again (you are right about the bleeding... it's nuts!). Also, I want to thank you for the corn pad idea. I found the...

Thank you so much for the resources! I'm beyond grateful. Have you found these medications more effective in fighting bumblefoot than baytril? (no rush to respond, I know you're busy). I realize I do have sulfatrim on hand!

this is really helpful! Thanks for sharing your experience--I'm glad to hear your rooster is with you and still doing well. That's gives me hope. I, too, fear osteomyelitis in my Dru, since it seems the infection is deep in her foot pad and not on the surface. I'm going to try corn pads/pool...

I really appreciate this! I was planning to try something similar with the pool noodle/pipe insulation donuts to cushion her foot pad. This seems similar, and perhaps, easier. I'd not been soaking until her recent flare-up, and then, only 1x weekly with new wraps (unless she got wet). Since she...

I completely understand. I'm going through one of those downpours, too. While giving Dru her foot bath/rewrap yesterday I noticed another hen in distress who was egg bound and had to scramble to help her afterwards (happy ending, thankfully). I hope all are doing well/feeling better on your end...

@coach723 not sure if you saw, but I've added pictures. She's still favoring one foot though she will walk around with a mild limp to eat/drink/lay and do chicken things (scratching around).

Both feet. The one with a clear bumble isn't bothering her but the other one is. The green is from green vetwrap residue. This is the worst one. It's not hot to the touch but just inflamed and a bit swollen looking. She holds it up when she can, and will walk on it with a minor limp. She...

Yes, I will take them next we bathe/rebandage. This evening or tomorrow.

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...
