Title: foot problem
Post by: p00rstudent on April 18, 2011, 11:43

Hello folks i was hoping you could help me. My cockerel is limping currently, he is able to walk about reasonably well but he defintly doesnt like putting too much weight on one of his feet. So i picked him up and had a look at his feet, and the one he trys to avoid putting weight on has what looks like a blister. It doesnt fell hot, and looks like it is getting smaller. Should i jut leave him be or is it something to worry about?

i should probably have mentioned i dont think it is bumble foot, The footpad isnt swollen at all, certainly doesnt have that bulbous look about it. The footpad just looks a little translucent and looks like it has some fluid in it.
