Bumblefoot and doxycycline

[Epye]

Hello, I am treating a goose with bumblefoot. I have been soaking her foot twice a day. I don't want to cut into her foot because I don't think the infection is very bad. I did get some of it out today but I'm having a terrible time keeping her foot bandaged.

I plan on soaking her some more, but I do have doxycycline and tylan 50 injectable. I was wondering if either of these would help clear the infection? Also I don't know a dosage per lb of bird.

Thank you. Sorry if this question has been asked.

How long have you been soaking her and in what?

Epsom salts about 5 days

15 minutes at a time? has it improved?

More like 30 minutes. Maybe, it certainly isn't getting worse. Today was the first day I was able to pull at the black scab.
