Yes, the same foot. During one surgery, I cut into the swollen pad to see if there was pus, but I didn't encounter any.
Olive seems to be handling her swollen pad okay. She's in a sand run all day. She used to beg to go out to free range on the hard clay, and now she only wants to remain in the run. But she doesn't behave as though she has any discomfort except for roosting, which she insists on.
She's an EE, unlike any of the others. She's very opinionated, stubborn, and completely uncooperative unless it's her idea to do something. I've never had a chicken like her. I would be happy to try the treatment you gave your big guy, but Olive would say, "You'll touch my feet again over my dead body." And she would mean it.
