bumblefoot removal aftercare?

[Moody Broody]

Unfortunately, the other day i found bumblefoot on one of my beautiful isa browns. They were very large and on both feet. I could never put her down, so after hours of research I figured that I would remove them surgically, it seems that this was the most effective choice recomended by many blogs. It all went well, despite feeling sick at the monstrosity of a 'kernel' that I removed from her feet. They were the largest I have seen, even on the Internet.
Anyway for the past two days, I have been cleaning the surrounding area on the foot, changing her dressings and reapplying ointment twice a day (morning, and late afternoon), as well as cleaning her cage and changing the towels.
Am I doing this right, or does anyone have any recommendations for what I should be doing as well?
Help appreciated

It sounds like you are doing everything right. Since dealing with bumblefoot in the past, I've found extra depth to shavings on the floor, in addition to roosts around 18" off the floor for large breeds prevent that problem. Some brands of pine shavings have too many splinters, so find a brand that is good quality. Very dirty litter remaining unchanged for long periods of time and retaining moisture are also a cause from what I've read.

Thank you!
I have just recently cleaned out the coop very well and have checked the perches, after discovering the bumblefoot.
