It's a simple operation much like treating abscesses (which many pet owners do themselves and I have done myself in the past) In the poultry business it is common to treat bumblefoot yourself. I have done a lot of research and contacted a lot of people. Bella hardly reacts when I dabble with her feet, the hard puss is all that needs to be cut out and there are no nerve endings in pus! I also have a numbing cream to use so she won't be in pain anyway. Just to let everyone know, she is perfectly fine today walking around outside in the sunshine with the rest of the gang and not limping anymore :) Thanks for your concern on Bella's behalf, I'll keep you all posted!
