Thanks. Link to comment

The antiseptic kills the infection, which reduces the swelling and allows blood to flow to and from the foot. Have had a couple of birds treated this way and not require the ring to be removed.

Useful advice from myself & other well meaning members would be only guesswork at best as we cannot see the problem first hand. ....B.J. Edited July 12, 2012 by Bird Junky Link to comment
