Bumble foot question

[JJ Ly]

It's my first time dealing with bumble foot so any help/advice is appreciated. I did epsom soaks, applied veteracin plus, prid and antibiotic ointment for almost two weeks. The scab loosened up and I got the kernel out almost a week ago. I've been cleaning her wound and applying antibiotic ointment and changing her bandages regularly since. Does it look like the infection is still there though? Maybe I didn't get all of it?

Yes, it appears you got the pus kernel. Keep a generous amount of triple antibiotic ointment packed in the depression. Since it's such a large cavity, I would cover it with gauze and wrap in Vetrap to keep all dirt out Check and clean every two days.

Be aware the swollen pad may take months to go down, if ever.

Thank you! That is what I've been doing. Such a relief as I know it was very painful for her. I would hate to put her through that again! She does seem to be moving around much better and getting back to her old self. I appreciate the reassurance that I'm doing the right thing.
