abscess on foot

[wmrothsgoats]

Over 4 weeks ago I noticed one of my little girls limping so I checked her foot and found she had bumblefoot. The bottom of her foot had a large black spot and there was a large lump on the webbing between her toes. I removed the black core from the bottom of the foot, soaked the foot in Epson salts, applied antibiotics, and wrapped the foot with vet wrap. I repeated the soaking, applying antibiotics and wrapping for two weeks. The bottom of the foot healed well but the lump between the toes did not change. I consulted a vet who told me to continue soak the foot. I have continued the soaking for about two weeks with no change. She is eating, drinking, and laying. The bad foot seems warmer than the other. Should I put ichthammol on the lump and wrap the foot daily? Should I lance the lump, apply antibiotic and wrap? Any suggestions?

Take the bird to the vet and PAY for the examination and treatment.

Wish I could help, haven't dealt with bumblefoot. But I would try to clean it out again. And put antibiotic and drawing salve . Hope she gets better soon.
