I don't know much about bumblefoot, but I do know that it affects all sorts of birds, including waterfowl and quail. Flit 01:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Treatment of ulcerative pododermatitis in raptors (and other animals)

In regards to the "Bumblefoot on birds of prey" section: Some people (whether ill-advised or not) will inevitably implement the hemorrhoid cream treatment mentioned in this section on an animal after reading this article. Therefore it is important that this information is well sourced from an article in a veterinary publication. (not sourced from an article written by someone who merely researched the topic and does not have a direct connection with avian medicine) If a reputable citation can't be found for this treatment, this material needs be removed in the interest of animal welfare. Hemorrhoid cream is not an antibiotic ointment and does not kill infectious bacteria (the cause of bumble foot) Hemorrhoid creams merely offer a supposed "soothing effect" and rely on the animal's immune system to fight off the infection. Using hemorrhoid creams to treat bacterial infections, without administering the appropriate antibiotic treatment, can result in the slow painful death of an afflicted animal with a serious infection. – Down time (talk) 17:08, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
