I removed a black hard knot from one of my hen's feet about 2 weeks ago. She had been on Baytril for 10 days. When I removed the knot/scab, her skin looked completely healed around it. I still treated it with either betadine and sugar or triple antibiotic ointment for several days. It seemed fine. Today I noticed another huge knot between her toes...even bigger than the last. I didn't pick her up yet to look under her foot. (I was on my way somewhere and didn't want to get pooped on!).
This is very strange. I was pretty much convinced that her body had sealed off the infection awhile ago, and maybe it was just the hard knot that was making it uncomfortable for her to walk.
Now she has another huge hard knot in the same place. What gives??
P.S. She has never limped with either problem.
