Hi there,
I believe she may have gotten her foot stepped on my our pig. I don't think it's broken. She has been laying off of it and uses her wing to stay upright.
I brought her in and have been giving her epsom salt soaks daily. I can see the bruising. My question is, do I wrap it? She has a couple of scraps which I sprayed with Theracyn and put some "Green Goo" animal balm on he leg. I don't think it's bumble foot because I saw the pig walk through my 30 chickens. Then saw her limping.

I would keep her in a small dog crate so she can’t move around much and it has a chance to heal. You can give her half of a low dose aspirin to help with pain and inflammation.
