Swoollen Back Toe

[Guest peter4pm]

Hello ...One of my birds has developed a swelling on his left foot back toe ...I hads a black hen a number of years ago that developed much the same thing ..i am thinking its salmonella as i am sure that is one of the symptoms ..i have since quarantined him and started antibiotics ..

I am not an expert - but have not heard of back toe swelling due to salmonella/paratyphoid. Ankle joint - yes, wing butt - yes, eyes going milky, dropped wings.

 

Hope it isn't anything serious, if you want to get droppings tested you need to collect for 5 days

I assume it's not bumblefoot which we see in ferals occasionally.

That's a bacterial infection and I suppose could be resolved with the right antibiotic.

I don't know which would be best.

Salmonella and paratyphoid are the same thing
