Is this bumblefoot?
Not sure why she has a blue leg.. no signs of injury whatsoever.
Can someone please advise me what to do. I feel terrible that she has this.

I personally prefer this article: https://www.tillysnest.com/2015/12/non-surgical-bumblefoot-treatment-html/

I usually let them soak for around 30 minutes instead of 10 though, the longer they soak the easier the scabs come off!

As for future prevention, check for any wet areas in your cage, and/or places they could cut themselves. With mine, I realized they were pooping in their sand WAY too much and then sleeping in it all night, which trashed their feet. They now get a separate sand bath rubbermaid to play in while I egg hunt in the main cage, and all their feet seem on the mend with foot baths + Neosporin now that the largest scabs are gone.

Here's hoping yours heals well!
