- I GAVE, dammit!
I've never dealt with bumblefoot - just with scabby feet from poor pigs being housed on wire.
In that instance, I soaked them as often as possible - 3 times a day at least or so.
Bumblefoot in heart issues is usually caused by poor circulation. I wonder if her enalapril needs upping?

She has very dry, cracked skin on both front paws. I put some aspen bedding down in the cage because I thought it would be easier for her to walk on then Carefresh. I think this may have contributed to the problem she is having. The vet said she is more susceptible due to her age and especially if the skin is cracked.

The chlorhexidine is quite drying. Consider dilute betadine instead. You can use preparation H on the foot to moisturize (it will also relieve a bit of the pain).

Ugh...her foot is not as swollen asd it was except one toe is very very swollen. Will it eventually open up so I can drain the pus out?
My poor baby. She makes it this far (7 yrs and 5mths) but has all these health issues to deal with. Somehow it seems to be harder on me then her.
