Post your concern in the emergency or duck forum. There are also a bunch of videos on YouTube on how to treat bumblefoot.
Best of luck!

Welcome to BYC trbunt, thanks for joining us!
I’m sorry your duck is hurt.

Thank you all. I have soaked her foot with epsom salts, cleaned it with iodine and wrap it with a gauze pad and vet wrap. We will see how she's doing later.

Hello, and welcome to BYC. Conduct an on site search on 'bumblefoot' - many posts should appear. Good luck in resolving the problem.

I did give it a squeeze but it just bled a little. I will keep an eye out for more swelling and infection

Welcome to BackYard Chickens!

Could you post a picture of the bumble so we can get an idea of how bad it is, we can help you over on the duck forums.
