Bumblefoot - Don’t know severity or what to do

[IslaBean]

Hi! Ruby has three bumps on her foot. She refuses to use her foot at all and tries to walk with just one foot and spreading out her wing for balance.

I don’t know the severity of her bumblefoot. Should I treat just with epsom salt baths, or is it sever enough that I should surgically remove it? Please give any advice. This is my first time dealing with bumblefoot. I don’t want to let it go on too much longer and the infection spreads.

I'd consider treating with Tricide Neo. Instructions are in this post.

The toe looks worse than the footpad. I'd continue with soaks, dry well. Keep the bird on clean dry bedding.

You mean the spurs?
Spurs do not always mean that the bird is a rooster. It's not that uncommon for hens to also have spurs.

Well only my roosters have the long spurs my hens only have little stubs
