Help please, I hope I dont have a problem.
« on: October 01, 2011, 12:14 »
Went out to see to the chooks just now, and noticed that one of my Sussex girls has a larger fleshier pad to the underside of he right foot than the left. Its quite a soft little lump, you notice it more when she is perching as it spreads out between her toes. Its not red at all, so I dont think its infected and she is walking on it ok, so far anyway. Any ideas folks or do you think its just the way she's made. It just looks like someones pumped it with air! Obviously after my brush with Bumblefoot last year, Im a touch on the paranoid side!

I would try not to worry (easier said than done I know!) and just keep an eye on it. 
If she's walking okay, the foot doesn't feel warmer than the other one and there is no sign of the dreaded black scab of a bumble I would see how she goes.

Fingers crossed it's just how she's made.

I know when my little leghorn gets bumblefoot it's not just the undeside of the foot that swells but rather the whole foot - it ends up looking like a balloon with these little toes sticking out of it.

I checked her toes and leg and all is well there. Ill check her daily for a while just to see how she goes. Scalpel and antibiotic spray will be at the ready though, just in case! As you say FL, perhaps its just the way she's made. If we were all made the sams, I'd have a body like Elle McPherson!

I couldn't have a body like Elle McPherson there's just no room in the freezer with all the pork in there.
