Hello everyone!
Anybody remembers me?
I've posted this topic a year ago, my rooster foot was very bad and huge, I was hopeless so I couldn't post more, my rooster became so tired no cocking, no eating so I've re-done the surgery and excised as much as I could, I was able to clean the wound and limit the size, I removed huge nails, with good care and healthy food (garlic, onion, cucumber and yogurt) and other vitamins and veg, I also gave him an antibiotic course, gradually he became better, started to eat,cock and walk, I bought him a chicken he was okay with the company and the care, he became much better with minor limitation, after 4 months, the foot started to grow bigger and I took good care of it but no improvement, now it's so huge that I don't know what to do, I decided to do another surgery and after excising the necrotic tissue, there is this soft tissue that will bleed if you cut it as if it is a blood vessel, the foot is huge and full of these stuff but no pus neither nails, sorry for the long update but how to deal with that????
Any advices?
P.S : I couldn't take any photo

Hello GitaBooks!
Thanks for the reply, no it doesn't ooze, neither hot but it is swollen, so big with white necrotic tissue that when removed the soft/pink soft tissue appears beneath it, the later tissue is taking the whole foot and I can't cut it because it bleeds and it seems endless..

Try putting some epson salts in warm water and put a rag in it and make a compress. Hold this rag against his foot. I've always used epson salts for bumblefoot. It draws it to a head so when you take the scab off it pulls the core with it.

Thanks for asking 
He is doing well, in spite of his foot bad condition, I kept the bandage so that he won't feel so much pain, we kept the other rooster (the one who became stronger than him & threats to beat him) away, now his psychological status is better, he feels that he is in control again, he became stronger, cocks and eats well, moves with little limitation, I think I'll leave his foot for now and if he relapses again,I'll do him another surgery for decompression.
