Sick Chicken, too.

Here we are again with a sick chicken. This time, though, it's different. Not bumblefoot. It is a case of an ankle bracelet (to ID a treated-for-bumblefoot) kept on too long. An end part of the bracelet had punctured her skin, causing an infection and swollen foot. Poor little thing has been in the house, in a large cardboard box for a few days, now. We have been bathing her feet & ankles in warm water with Epsom salts and a bit of soap, then dressing it with Polysporin and wrapped. She seems to be getting better and putting her weight on her foot, at times.
was it a spiral band, kind of like a piece of spring coil? Those are famous for poking skin and sometimes lodging in flesh.
