Bumblefoot is an infection common in chickens. The hen that had it is the one staying in the rabbit cage. Lisa operated on it to drain the infection. We didn't get pictures of the actual surgery, just the aftermath.
Gauze and vet wrap to bind the wound. Now you know why they call it "the bird" finger.
She is putting weight on it already.
She never did stop laying eggs so we thought she deserved heroic efforts.
This is all the crud that was in the swollen area. Lisa dug it out with tweezers.
Cathryn sent us some doTERRA
lavender to sooth the pain and act as an antiseptic. The hen seems to be responding well to it.
