Bumblefoot? Limping, swollen & warm

[Cparkermarie]

One of my Polish hens started walking funny the other day and I noticed the pad of her foot was bigger than the other.

Since then she has a bad limp, there’s a bump on the bottom of her foot that’s pinkish and now her leg is starting to swell and it’s all warm.

I thought it might be bumblefoot without the scab (there’s no scab & doesn’t feel like there’s a kernel in there.

I’ve been spraying her with Vetericyn multiple times a day and doing epsom salt soaks when she’ll allow it. Is there anything else I can do, like should I try to give her antibiotics? If so do you know what kind, the dosage and where I could get them?

How is she doing?

In the photo, is her joint swollen? Any oozing of the joint?

She’s the same more or less. It’s possible the swelling has gone down a little but it’s possible I’m imagining things. We’ve kept up the same treatment but just started a broad spectrum antibiotic.
There’s no oozing anywhere and nothing has gotten worse.

I think that may be all you can do unless vet care is an option.
