Bumblefoot question

[simi33]

Hello. One of my young hens has bumblefoot. I dont know if I should treat it myself or take it to a vet. Can you please look at the pics and let me know your opinion?

Also check out this thread...it is interesting. Some like the one you have are responding to non-surgical treatment.
