Giving the foot a soak in an epsom salt bath can help too. I just put a couple of inches of warm water in a 5 gallon bucket, add the epsom salt, add chicken, cover with a towel and she should just lay right down and chill. Leave her in for 15 minutes. I’d do it before you apply the drawing salve each time.
I have a Tupperware that’s justbig enough for the chicken and a lid with a hole cut out. I epsom salt bath her for as long as she can stand it lol, then i cut away the hard scab. When I take away the hardest part of the scab i put salva on it and vet wrap her up. I do this almost every night for a week. Sometimes it works and other times I have to dig it out. I hate doing it but it has to be done. For some reason it’s always the same hen. Nobody else gets bumble foot.

Wow thank you for sharing! This is such great info
How could they transfer the staph infection to us?
How is it transferred to humans and what does it do to us
I’d like to know rio
Weer gloves and wash your hands after treatment.
Why do the chickens not peck at your hands while handling them?
Raised them since baby chicks 🐤
Mine has had it and I didn't know cuz she had no signs. No limp no change in scratching. Getting it out now
I have one with bumblefoot and am treating, only yo notice the OTHER foot now has it as well. 🤦♀️
