Bumblefoot or cut on feet?

[GWMYR]

Hi guys, need some advice, does the above attached photo looks like bumblefoot or just normal cut or maybe abrasion? How long does it takes for the feet's skin recover? There's no trace of bloods, it doesn't seems to bother him as well, perching as normal.

PS: Ignore the wet feathers, took a picture of his foot while he was out bathing.

Ouch! It looks very much to me like it's a spot that has been worn raw...I don't believe it's a cut or an injury.

So I guess its more leaning to abrasion/bumblefoot? Gonna pad those perches.

At the moment, I am leaning toward abrasion, but?

What kind of perches does he have available (Dowel, Custom (metal), Natural Wood Branches, Specialty Branches, etc...) and what sizes are they?
Does he have any sandpaper or concrete perches?
Does your MAC commonly perch (sit) low especially when roosting?

In looking closer at the wound, it appears like it could have possible split /separated or is being pulled apart (possibly Brumblefoot). And abrasion or injury based wound would have a slightly different appearance along the edges.

How long has he had this wound. By the way how long have your had this MAC(?)? How old is he and when was his last visit to his Avian Vet?

Regardless, a wound like this needs to seen and treated by an Avian Vet. If infection sets in, he could lose his leg.

See your Avian Vet and the sooner the better, like today or tomorrow would be nice.

On doing some reading this may be the start of it, please go get it checked and know for sure.

Meticulously scrub and disinfect all perches and how much Vitamin A is your bird getting in his diet?

He's currently have a custom made perch which is make of safe stainless steel. (I kinda suspect that the SS perch caused this, as that is his favorite perch) I've notice this wound just today. I have him for like months. He's around a year plus old. His last visit to vet was probably a month ago.

Yup already disinfect all the perches, for now his 'wound' is still stable. But it do looks like the scales part worn off or something.

He's on maintenance roudybush pellet, fresh sprouts, cooked rice and fruits. He's very picky about food. Out of all the foods that I've mentioned, his favorite will still be the roudybush pellets. Any others food that you'll recommend. When trying new foods, he always take a small bite and throw them away.

Hi any/all of these on the high list. A lot of Vit A foods are easily made into a warm mash and most parrots love this so why not try squash, sw potato, carrots in the first instance? You eat some first and make loads of encouraging noises, pretend it is yours and then get him hooked and reel him in.

Pellets are not supposed to be a total diet only approx 20% of days intake.

Have you tried making Birdy Bread?

Thanks for the help! Appreciate it. It seems the website was down due to some network issues from the website. Will read through and make some new foods for him.

Although it will likely have no effect on the wound it self, trash the stainless steel perch and get a bunch of Natural branch Perches (no dowels) with a diameter starting at 3" (75 mm) and continuing up to 5" (130 mm).

So, you have made an appointment to see a Avian Vet tomorrow morning correct? A MAC of this age, should not have this kind of wound!

 

[plumsmum2005]

Hi, any news on your macaw?

Did it go alright at the AV's, would love some feedback please?
