westhamunited Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Today we found one of our new bantams had a sore on her foot.... it doesn't seem to be causing much pain but she is limping. Does anybody know to treat it???? Any help would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 It could just be a cut. I'd bathe it in a salt water solution and dry it, then examine it carefully in case there is a thorn or piece of grit in it. They can develop a condition called Bumblefoot which is caused by a bacteria and is usually treated with antibiotics, so if the foot is very swollen, red and hot and looks like the pictures in the link below, I'd take her to the vet. http://club.omlet.co.uk/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=9926 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
