I had a pekin last fall who had it. I soaked for twice a day and applied the ointment for a couple weeks maybe. When I decided to try to loosen the scab, I thought I was going to have to do the process to remove the kernel of infection, but the scab came off and the tissue underneath was perfectly healthy. Now I have another duck with bumblefoot and she has a swollen spot with a tiny scab. I've tried soaking and neosporin but it didn't help and she's limping a lot. A few days ago I pulled off the tiny scab and pulled some crusty material out from underneath that, sprayed veteracyn and put neosporin in, then bandaged the foot. But, it doesn't seem to have improved much and I've repeated that process a couple times now. So, I'm no expert, but try and see what happens after a week or so of soaks, and you should be able to see if it's getting better.
