My Welsh Harlequin Duck, Solrikka, started limping around 5 days ago. I picked her up and noticed what looks like the beginnings of bumblefoot. We've been doing twice daily soaks with Espsom Salt for 8 minutes at a time and then slathering the affected area with neosporin. We're also confining her to the duck run.
I've taken a really bad picture. You can somewhat see a raised, swollen are with a dark dot in the middle. The swollen area is not soft and squishy, but firm. She doesn't seem to be improving, so I'm wondering if there is anything else I should be doing. I'm adverse to cutting it out now, especially since I don't see that dark scab yet.
She's eating, drinking pooping and laying well, however, I can definitely see that foot doesn't feel good.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
