Bumblefoot

The last antibiotic that they gave us was the last thing they could give us to help her.
I understand, the foot needs to be seen, any pus removed, a vet can do that - anitibiotics alone will not dry up pus. The black and yellow tissue is very concerning. Unless I'm mistaken the toe is dying.

We asked the vet if they could do surgery and they didn’t want to..
Yes the toe does look to be dying
 
The swelling has gone down a lot now after the surgery that I did.
I’ve been applying tea tree cream to the scabs after every epsom salt soak.
However her crop problem seems to be getting worse. I’ve emptied it by getting her to vomit three times now and it still seems to be impacted. A gray foul smelling liquid comes out when she vomits, nothing else.

I'm glad the foot is doing better.
It sounds like her crop has turned sour, you may want to treat that with an vaginal yeast cream. See the article below for some tips.

Crop is better and foot seems to be better too. She did end up losing that toe but she’s getting around fine :D
