Bumblefoot Question

[Sschro13]

I’m currently treating one of my hens for bumblefoot. I posted the original picture as well as one currently. Have been soaking it in Epsom salts and treating with Vetricyn and Neosporan and wrapping it for the last few days after removing the solid “kernel”. This morning I unwrapped the foot to let it get some air but she is still in her isolation spot and noticeably still favoring that foot. When would you return her to the rest of the flock? (In no hurry to do so, just haven’t dealt with this before) Thanks!

I usually don't separate my birds for bumblefoot unless they are getting attacked by others because they aren't acting right. I leave them with the flock and just take them out long enough to treat, monitor and re bandage the foot. As long as the flock treats her normally, and she can get around ok, she would probably be much less stressed if she was with them.
