Bumblefoot?

Is this the start of Bumblefoot? I’ve had ducks and chickens for 5 years and luckily have never dealt with it. Noticed a 4 week old gosling limping subtlety and noticed this on her feet.

Is this the start of Bumblefoot? I’ve had ducks and chickens for 5 years and luckily have never dealt with it. Noticed a 4 week old gosling limping subtlety and noticed this on her feet.

Did you run your finger over that area checking for a splinter? it could turn into bumble so maybe start soaking in warm Epsom salt water and finishing up after the foot dries with some clear iodine spread over it. Don't let the goslings drink the water it is also a laxative.
Is that swelling or is it the same size as the other foot? hard to tell when you can't see the other one for comparison.
