Hope you can advise. I have a wonderful canary and have bred finches successfully for years. My canary has recently developed bumblefoot. Per vet's instructions, I am giving him 2 cc's of a sulfa antibiotic orally twice daily. I have excellent cage hygiene and am flummoxed as to how he contracted this. We have removed his leg band, and I will change out all his perches to varying width branches tomorrow. Any suggestions on how I might further help my little guy. I am most willing to do whatever it takes. Thank you for your time and attention.
