Our girl Poopy has always had toe problems but yesterday she seemed worse for wear. Shes limping and taking several breaks and just laying down while walking. She didnt even want to come out of the run yesterday or today. I dont see any signs of a break or a sprain but I did notice this:

her middle toe looks swollen. Its kinda hard to tell from the picture but she wouldnt let me take a better one. Is this bumblefoot? A joint swelling? A broken toe? I was thinking I'd soak her in an epsom salt bath but just want to verify that she won't require surgery. I can splint the toe if you guys think its broken. Let me know. As always thank you for your advice.
 
Still looking for any information on this to help her. Shes no longer walking on it at this point. I set her in the coop and she gradually made her way out but it took her a half hour. Shes sitting down a lot more than she was. I gave her some b-complex. Not sure what more I can do for her.
