MATERIALS NEEDED
All of the medical equipment can easily
be found on the counter, unless otherwise indicated.
Must have at least two volunteers to perform
this procedure
-
One to restrain the bird
-
One to administer the treatment
One raptor in need of bumblefoot treatment
Gloves for handling the raptor (welding gloves)
Castwrap (found in the draw under the scales
for weighing birds) or large towel
Ace bandage
Small towel for absorbing fluids
Betadine soaked gauze pads (in glass jar on
window sill)
Dilute Nolvasan (have a syringe or spray bottle
filled)
Clean, dry gauze pads (in glass jar on window
sill)
CEH cream
Rolled gauze
Bandage scissors (in drawer under medical
counter)

Helpful Tips!
-
Lay out all materials needed on counter within
your reach, but out of the way of where the bird will be laid.
-
Cut the tape into strips on manageable length
and stick to counter within easy reach.
-
Remove some CEH cream from jar with a tongue
depressor, never your fingers, and put on a gauze pad, ready for use.
-
Never put your finger directly in the CEH
cream.
-
You could infect the whole jar with whatever
bacteria may be on your fingers.
