I recently posted about a chicken that was limping . I think it’s bumblefoot or some kind of infection , it has seemed to form a scab that I took off as much as I could . I’m scared to really cut into it but it doesn’t ooze pus. It does bleed really well though . I have been doing Epsom soaks and vetericin spray and wrapping the feet . It’s two toes that seem to be infected . It has seemed to go down by soaking it and doing this

Is vet care an option?

Looks like the foot is infected, so technically it could be called Bumblefoot.

I'd continue with the soaks, swab with chlorhexidine then apply your ointment. The lesions may need to be cleaned out, but hopefully the soakings will help draw up the pus.
