Bumble foot treatment

I am looking for some help with one of my Cayuga’s flippers. A little over a week ago I noticed her limping and her toe was swollen. I started epsom salt soaks, spraying with vetricyn, and applying neosporin ( without the pain medicine). I do this 2x a day. She has 2 bumps on the bottom of that toe. Her foot is warm to the touch. I have looked and see no sign of a cut or a scab. I’ve had a duck with bumble foot but have always noticed and felt a scab. I’m wondering if it could be a broken toe? She still has a slight limp, but it’s not as bad as it was at first, and she is not holding up her leg like she was at first. She’s still eating, drinking, laying eggs, and keeping up with the rest of the ducks. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don’t have a vet that will see ducks. I plan on picking up some collidal silver- not sure if it will help.

Looks like some kind of trauma to that toe? What your doing must be helping the soaks in Epsom salt. and limiting her running around time may help it to heal faster. I usually have a Runner limping at least 1X a month, I use to separate in a dog x pen Now I just let them pace themselves they are good at it, and recover just fine.

I agree with @Miss Lydia.
Hope your duck will feel better soon...
Off topic: Look at that face! ☺️

She is walking on that foot funny now because of the swelling 😢.
 
Update.
Her foot is swollen more. I’m not sure if what I’m doing is aggravating it more so I’m going to leave it alone today. Still would like to know if it’s a broken toe, bumble foot, or some other infection. Thoughts….
