I misunderstood what bumble foot was and was trying to help her (My Female Canary,Bows) thru her diet.
I took her in to the Avian Vet here in Toledo,Ohio, Two weeks ago
Dr O. ( Dr. Orosz, Bird and Exotic Pet Wellness Center )
put her on antibiotics and had me put her in a box. No bars or perches to irritate her leg.
She had lost a lot of weight and was dieing despite my efforts.
She also said no canary seed and put her in Lafebers canary pellets and Nutri Berrie pellets.
Told me to also keep giving her the kale I have been feeding her with the eggs.
Her white feathers where gray and I was told she was lacking vitamin A. To add to her diet, orange and red peppers plus carrots for the carotene they have in them.
This week Dr.O added DMSO to rub on her foot. which I Googled and found this.....
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (Rimso-50): topical, for edema, pain, swelling; causes vasodilation and histamine release
I read it will help with swelling and pain. People use it to help with arthritis , to help get the blood flowing and pain.
Two days after the visit. I had to go back. It looked like a hair/string was stuck in it. But when they took the hair/ string out, the scab came off and they saw it was worse then they thought.
They had to do surgery and took off her foot, it was mostly dead.
I tried my best and feel soo bad for her now. She is in the box for another week with more antibiotic and DMSO.
But hopefully she is out of pain now.
