LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Here you go: I can't help with identifying the lump though. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 It looks like Bumblefoot to me. I would suggest that she is seen by a vet, as antibiotics may be required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I agree would definitely say bumblefoot. It is caused by a Staphyloccal infection following a puncture wound of some kind. This will need antibiotic treatment as it is difficult to cure without veterinary attention and often requires a long course of antibiotics.

flutterby Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Than you for puuting photos up for me I had an inkling it could be bumblefoot - have given it a clean and sprayed will talk to vet tomorrow. May have to find something to use as a sick pen as I have the broody in my spareone! (hopefully hatching will start tomorrow) thanks for the advice.

Chucky Mama Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 YOu could have a go at 'drawing' it with a warm animalintex poultice. Might do the trick if there is anything in there to come out. Pointless if there isn't though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
