AnneT Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hi, I've got a hen who has bumblefoot and now started on antibiotics. Has anyone any experience of how long it normally takes before they start to seem better? I hate seeing her looking miserable! Many thanks, Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 It can take ages as Bumblefoot can be a nightmare! Just keep up with the antibiotics and it will go eventually. Depending on how bad it is, the vet can lance the infection, bind it and that could help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egghead68 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 You can also keep wiping the infected foot with iodine diluted to the colour of weak tea twice daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
