How to treat Bumblefoot in chickens. We list all the supplies needed, the steps to be taken prior to the removal of the scab and infection.
Bumblefoot is a staph infection or Plantar Pododermatitis caused by staphylococcus bacteria getting into a cut, splinter or injury to a chickens foot. It is characterized by a black scab and swelling, in more severe cases there can be lameness or the chicken can limp or have the inability to walk. In very mild cases the bird can heal on their own with their natural immune system. If swelling or limping is noticed treatment is needed before the infection spreads that can go into the bone and possibly kill your chicken.
Consult your local Veterinarian if possible, but if that is not an option this is how to easily cure your chicken's Bumblefoot at home with this non-surgical method. More severe cases will need treatment with antibiotics like Penicillin or Amoxicillin prescribed.
