Bumble Foot Surgery

[ChickensGalore1]

I'm thinking of doing surgery on my chickens foot in which I think may have bumble foot. Questions for experienced Bumblefoot Surgeons:
1 How do I apply the gauze and neospirin?
2 My chicken patient is a year and 2 months old, when 3 bandage the foot can I release her to the other chickens?
4 Can she still roost?
5 Can she Free range for 2-3 hours?
6 Do I literally put the neosporin IN the hole when it's cleaned out?

Here's a pic of the foot I believe is infected.

Sorry for the poor quality!

Did they insert the neosporin directly into the cleaned out area?

I believe so. It said to pack neosporin into the hole.

I never had to do it but I think you put the neosporin in the wound after you clean it out then bandage it.

The bandage is to keep the wound clean.
