I gave you the information in post 8, to have swelling like that there has to be either an injury or infection, using an antibiotic according to the directions on that link should give you an idea if it is an infection. If an injury then rest and soaking in warm Epsom salt water can help. That looks very painful and if it is an infection getting her on antibiotics can help heal and keep this from moving into her bones and blood. Since we're not vets we have to do elimination and hope and pray what we try works.I can order antibiotics and she is not laying any eggs. thank you I will let you know if that helps. hat antibiotics should I look into since I m not sure what is causing the swelling.
