Prevent and Manage Bumblefoot Naturally
Bumblefoot often develops from a foot injury that allows bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus to infect the tissue. A comprehensive care routine, including Bumble Blend CH, can support your chicken’s recovery.
Here’s how to help your chickens heal:
-
Inspect Feet Regularly: Early detection of cuts or swelling is crucial.
-
Soak in Epsom Salts: Warm water soaks help draw out infection and soften the skin.
-
Clean and Protect: After soaking, dry thoroughly, apply a natural antimicrobial ointment, and wrap the foot.
-
Use Bumble Blend CH: Support healing with our safe, homeopathic remedy.
-
Maintain Clean Living Conditions: Regularly clean the coop and provide soft, dry bedding to reduce bacterial exposure.

How to use
All Agripathics remedies come in liquid form, as we have found this to be the easiest way to administer them.
You can dose a chicken or bird individually or at the flock level.
Individually:
Homeopathic remedies are best administered onto a mucus membrane, so directly into the mouth, otherwise into food or water..
Flock Level:
This is best done by adding one capful or dropperful to their water trough, so that each time they drink, they receive a dose.

Ingredients
Homeopathic ingredients:
Arnica, Silica and Bacteria nosodes of: Staph aureus, E coli and Pseudomonas
Base Composition
Formulated in a liquid base of human‑grade undenatured ethanol (10%) and purified water.
About Our Ethanol Base
Our remedies are preserved using human‑grade undenatured ethanol, selected for its purity and suitability across species. The gentle 10% concentration supports product stability while remaining appropriate for routine use with companion animals, birds, horses, and livestock.
Ethanol and Animal Administration
Each dose contains only a minimal amount of ethanol. Most animals tolerate this well, and remedies may be administered orally, added to feed or water, or applied topically depending on species and context.
For animals with known sensitivity - or when cautious administration is preferred - the following approaches may be used:
-
Dispense drops into feed and allow to stand for 20 minutes before offering
-
Dilute in a small volume of warm water and allow to stand for 20 minutes prior to administration
These methods allow partial ethanol evaporation while preserving the integrity of the active ingredients.
Ingredient Philosophy
We select ingredients with a focus on purity, safety, and functional integrity. Our undenatured ethanol base reflects this commitment - clean, balanced, and suitable for diverse species, from household companions to performance and production animals.
FAQ's
Is ethanol safe for animals? Yes. Our remedies use a very small amount of human‑grade undenatured ethanol (10%), which is widely accepted as safe for routine use across species.
Why is ethanol used in the remedies? Ethanol acts as a gentle preservative, helping maintain stability and potency over time. It also supports the integrity of homeopathic preparations.
Can sensitive animals still take the remedy? Absolutely. For animals with known sensitivity, drops can be added to feed or diluted in warm water and allowed to stand for 20 minutes. This allows partial evaporation while keeping the remedy effective.
Will my animal taste the ethanol? Most animals show no reaction at all. When added to food or water, the taste is minimal to undetectable.

★★★★★WOW what a resultI used the Bumble Blend on my daughter's hen last night. She had also been looking sad and not mingling much with other hens, so I thought I would deal with that later. This morning, I went out to feed them, and she strolled out. I thought, 'Oh, she looks a bit perkier; must be my imagination.' Until I saw her amongst the other hens eating, not worried about the bossy hen, then, a bit later, another hen was trying to intimidate her, and she just stood there instead of running off. I know homeopathics are good, but WOW, I wasn't expecting to see results overnight. I think I will be recommending your products even more . Thank you.
