Hi do you need to do an epson salt soak everyday before the drawing salve? Or just the first day? Also does a black or grey scan always mean it’s turned into bumblefoot?

I absolutely loved this video and found it very helpful! My only critique is that I would recommend against using the hydrogen peroxide during the healing process. Hydrogen peroxide destroys both healthy and sick cells, which actually slows the healing process rather than speeding it up. It could potentially make the open wound more susceptible to reinfection too since it kills immune cells as well, but I am not 100% sure about that part. Otherwise, this was a super great video and very educational and easy to follow just like many of your other videos I have seen. Thank you for sharing your chicken knowledge, it is very much appreciated!

That's the best-behaved bock bock I think I've ever seen!

Just some additional info for anyone reading, I’ve used a very similar method in the video for troublesome cases but over time, I’ve come to have good luck just spraying the scabs with vetericyn or sometimes blukote regularly and letting them be. In my scenario, they’ve usually resolved on their own. My whole flock got bumbles from digging around in the blackberry bushes so I bought some Ropa poultry oregano solution. That alone in their water seemed to clear everyone up, except for one lil leghorn. She has a really resistant case. I did the soaks, antibiotic topicals, Prid, wraps & the swelling/infection wasn’t reducing. I was worried it would get like some of the images I’ve seen online or that her joints would suffer damage. So, instead of waiting for the healthy skin to push the infection out, I tried to gently manipulate it out first sign of the scab lifting & loosening. What happened was, not only was their no sign of the plug (only a superficial scab came off) but part of the inside of her foot pulled out with it. So she had tissue hanging out of her foot. I had to search all over for a vet that sees poultry to cut the tissue off- that was not something I was willing to go digging around in or try remove myself, for a number of reasons- and we ended up getting an antibiotic. Hope this helps someone & their chicken out. Don’t rush the process if you can help it. I had no idea that what happened was even a possibility. We’re still working on those bumbles, so wish us luck.

So you would just spray the area with veterycin and not soak with epsom or anything else? My little lady seems to have one forming on top of her foot, in between claws so spraying seems like it should be fairly easy...it also does not have a scab formed yet...

Hope your girls feeling better! You hit the nail on the head that most resolve themselves with vetricyn or blukote. Sorry that happened to you with the live tissue, what a nightmare. When we attempted the scab was already coming off on its own. But yes we’ve noticed most chickens feet never turn into bumblefoot if caught early or their natural immune system can handle it. Penicillin and amoxicillin are good antibiotics to use if you have a case that needs more aggressive treatment

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! I have been dealing with a nasty case of bumblefoot on one of my chickens. I watched a ton of videos and started treating right away by trying to cut out the infection from multiple places like others recommended. Unfortunately, it did not clear up the infection AND put my sweet bird through undo pain and stress. Since it wasn’t clearing I continued with more research and found your video. I ordered PRID right away and got to work the next day. I could see clear progress after just 3 days of the PRID treatment. I was cleaning and redressing her feet today and one of the bumblefoot wounds started oozing so I cleaned it further and all the nasty junk came with very minimal effort. I was shocked! Her foot looks so much better now! I left the other foot alone because I didn’t think it was fully ready to be worked. Seriously - thank you again. I hope I never have to deal with bumblefoot again but if I do, I know exactly how I will go about it. Thank you!!!!

Just so everyone knows, hydrogen peroxide actually eats raw tissue. So using it on open wounds regularly will cause slower healing and cause make things worse sometimes. I found out from a DR when I had a similar size hole from a surgery. It wouldn't heal for weeks. Went to a different doctor who told me it was because (I thought i was doing a good thing) was cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide 3%. That used alone eats raw tissue 😮 This is a great video! And kudos to you both for mentioning that it is a real staph infection and super contagious. Most people don't know that.

O.R. RN here...3 use 3% H2O2 (NO stronger) for initial cleaning. Then you can dilute it 50/50 with cooled boiled water. After the wound is cleaned, switch to a spray like vetrycin.

You did a wonderful job, the little chicken is so trusting and calm. I have performed 3 operations on my Duck for Bumblefoot and it is because Staph stays in there unless you remove it ALL. It is it is a pale cream colour, stringy and nasty and if you don't get it all the first time then it will reoccur. Once the 3rd one was done I packed it full of Bactroban and wrapped her foot for 2 weeks and when I removed the wrap it was healed perfectly. My supplies: Betadine iodine, Antibacterial wipes, Surgical scissors, Scalpel, Melonin gauze pad, self adhesive wrap, Medical tape, safety glasses.

That was a very good video. My hen was not walking well and sitting more than usual. I found small dark areas on each foot, so assumed it was Bumblefoot. I used all the products that you mention, including the epsom salt bath. After 15-20 minutes of soaking, I picked at the dark spot a little with the tweezers, but didn’t want to be too aggressive, though I did losses it up a bit. I used a gauze pad with Vetericyn and Prid and vet wrap, though my initial wrap didn’t work out so well. Now, I know how to wrap it more effectively. I will give her another soak in a few days and change the wrap daily. Hopefully, I won’t have to do surgery, as I couldn’t see that there was much there. I did think her foot pads seemed a bit swollen but was unsure how soon to try and how much to press it. Your video provided lots of reassuring tips. Thank you !

Thank you we are glad to help let us know if you have any more questions, we removed the scab when it was falling off on its own. We noticed the swelling and infection went down just from the PRID/Vetricyn treatment. Chickens have a strong immune system and usually have everything they need to fight the infection. In very severe cases antibiotics may be needed. Keep doing what you’re doing and be patient as bumblefoot can take some time to completely heal

Always give a thumbs up to videos that are showing the best way now to help animals even chickens! Or yesterday. He came up because I was watching a person remove an abscess on a guy. The chickens seem to contain it a lot better than we do on their foot. I imagine just because they don't have the same amount of blood supply. I've never seen a zit removed that look like a corn kernel. I saw one of these on another channel that more crack came out of that than I thought that poor animal had space in the foot. I really like people that take good care of their animals. I have seen a massive correlation between people that are kind of animals that are also kind to people too. Of course there are exceptions. In my line of work I really get the deal with mean people in the best way. And you know what the people they're always kind to the bartenders and wait staff are rarely ever have a problem with it. It's always the ones that are just jerks and they're usually jerks to animals too.

We love our animals very much and think people should have compassion for all animals and people as well. Be kind to others you do not know what they are going through, especially in service industry I don’t know how people can be so rude to others. Chickens hide their illness and pain since they are a prey animal they do not want to look weak so their flock doesn’t think they are making the whole pack of birds weak and endangering them more so, if that makes sense. Puss in birds is also different, usually hard instead of liquid like humans. Ours was small because we had been giving her treatment and her infection didn’t get so bad. We check over our flock daily to make sure they are healthy. They are beloved pets so we notice right away if someone is acting unusual or sick

H2O2 actually is a good flush. 3%, no stronger, for the first flush. If you wish, you can dilute it 50/50 with cooled boiled water. After the initial cleaning (H202 bubbles dirt out of crevices) switch to vetrycin, or another product. H202 3% is, however, absolutely the best to use when treating "fly strike" which is maggots burrowed into the animal. Drip a drop in the maggot hole, wait with good tweezers, & quickly grab it, when it sticks it's breathing apparatus out of the hole. Repeat as necessary, until EVERY single maggot is out. Then leave the wounds alone, & keep the animal where there are NO flies, until healed. Fly eggs look like bundles of tiny grains of white rice, stuck to fur or feathers. In chickens, check wounds & vent areas, especially if dirty. Mammals--check wounds, corners of eyes, umbilicus / navel / bellybutton, behind ears, all 4 "armpits," & anus. It's very important to check orphaned animals immediately--maggots keep boring, & will kill them. H202 is a very valuable tool, if used appropriately.

I'm so glad you posted this! I love getting educated before I need it. My chicks are growing fast.

Thank you & thanks for watching! Aw we love the chick stage. The cuts and scrapes that can turn infected can be caused on larger heavy birds by jumping off high roost bars, we think this may have been caused for us by the mulch we added in the garden giving her a splinter. We hadn’t had this happen to us in the past so that’s our prime suspect. Just things to consider!

Thank you! Unfortunately it may be because chickens don’t show pain like we do, they hide it. But she never acted like it hurts and possible feels good to rid the infection, must hurt more walking around with it. Couldn’t let our poor girl have a hurt foot like that

We have no way to know. Chickens will "hide" pain from horrible injuries, & hide it well, to avoid being pecked by their flock, or singled out by a predator. That doesn't mean they don't feel it...they have nerves, just like we do. That being said, sometimes we have to cause (even severe) pain in humans & other creatures, in order to help them heal & survive. Don't believe that because you can't recognize anither's pain, that it isn't there. Especially across species.

That was oddly satisfying seeing that come out but I’m a nurse and we love stuff like that!🤣

I like watching this kind of stuff too and my mom is a nurse and cannot stand it which is funny to me. I like watching the zit videos except all those health spas make me sick because none of them ever get all the infection out. They just pop the black head off and take an extreme risk of getting infection in the patient because if they bust the sack inside all that junk just goes back in the person and can cause an abscess that's why it's important for medical professionals to do it on people or at least somebody that knows what the hell they're doing it's not rocket science lol. At least you're doing a very thorough job and care for the animals. It seems like all the zip videos on people are just more concerned about making them come back for more money because they don't get rid of all the pus. Very very old video and you explained everything very well. It's hard to get a compliment out of me if you're not doing it right and as far as I can tell you the good job. Thanks for being one of the good ones that actually does what they're supposed to.

Thank you for admitting it doesn't always go smoothly but you can get it done. My first time using blukote and it was a mess. I learned from that! And you are so right. Lay all your supplies out so you can work on them. You guys are great thank you for posting this

Thank you for your video it has been so helpful. I do have a question. We got the plug out of the foot and now wondering if we should still give her an epson salts bath each time we clean and re-bandage her foot?

Thanks, I am scared to do this alone, but here I go.

wow i would love to be able to go this rout but i always seem to get bumble foot in waves where half or so of me chickens will get it at a time enough to need it looked after i tend to have 50 to 100 depending and they run free most of the time so i end up having to treat at dusk and end up mostly using a dull blade on my pocket knife to avoid cutting if i can and pop em out little blue spray and a drag-a-long pen with fresh shavings fresh grass little electralights in the water and often in a week they are ready to run again

I think our climate in California desert may have something to do with it, there’s not much for them to get cuts on their feet and it’s very dry here no muddy areas. Whenever our chickens get scabs on their feet, it never turns into bumblefoot, this is a very rare thing for us and I think it was caused from a splinter from new garden mulch most likely

I found one of my girls limping today. She would pull her foot under her while standing and just hold it against her. I first noticed something was wrong while I had them out free ranging. She’d go off by herself and sit. Her appetite and drinking is still good. My biggest problem is going to be catching and handling her. I got my birds when they were nearly a year old. They were raised with little human contact. I work with them every day, but it’s been a challenge to get them to tolerate hands on. Thank you for sharing!!

Hello are you sure she has a bumble? She will come around our birds that are rehomed to us older always do and end up chasing us for snacks lol. Try hand feeding favorite treats. Also just try handling them at night for wellness checks. They go into a trance calm state while sleeping and even the most wild bird can easily be pulled off the roost bar to look at. She may have just hurt her leg and in a few days stop limping. This can happen time to time and they usually just get better on their own in our experience

@@BockBockBouquet You are so spot on!! We gathered up our medical supplies, rehearsed our plan of action, then headed to the pen to play Dr. House. LOL!!! I sat in the run for over an hour hand feeding them while trying to figure out which one was limping. They all looked good and fought for the chance to eat from my hand. We’ll take a closer look this evening when I release them to free range. I never knew that about their state of mind on the roost. That will come in handy!! Thank you so very much!!!

Wait until dark, when she is on the roost. Using as little light as possible, you can lift her right off the roist. They can't see well in the dark.

Thank you, we could try next time. If all the infection got out then the scab should have healed into fresh new skin nicely. Sometimes it can take a second removal if there is still infection in there or maybe a round of antibiotics. But the new skin should look healthy and fresh with no heat or swelling

Brave little chicken!

Thank you so much for this video! I put the prid and vaseline on yesterday then wrapped it. Do i need to reaply at all in the 2 weeks it stays on? Do i need to change the bandage at all if it doesnt come off by itself

@ellendaniels3026

YES! Change it daily at first, then once the dressing is always dry (on the inside, where the wound is) Then you can switch to every 2 or 3 days, IF the bandage stays clean & DRY. Even just dampness is not okay. Dampness wicks bacteria.
