enlarged hind toe???

[sehfergy]

what is wrong w/ my hen’s left rear toe? she had bumblefoot in the right foot & i removed the bumble, bandaged it & it’s healing well. she is not lame, was never lame, is walking & roosting, eating. i just noticed a few days ago she was staying in the coop not socializing outside like she usually does so inspected her & found the bumble. while treating the right bumble foot, i noticed her left rear toe is enlarged (see pics).

i couldn’t find a bumble or wound, it doesn’t seem tender. no redness or kernal. i’m not sure what to do...?

The entry point may have healed over, or could be gout. I would start by soaking in epsom salts and warm water.

Her whole left foot and ankle appear swollen. Mycoplasma synovitis, gout, and past frostbite can cause swelling of a foot and ankle. Also it could be swollen from a sprain. When the right foot is not bandaged, does the ankle appear swollen?

no, right ankle is fine, just the bumble which i removed. she is doing better after bumble removal, is walking w/ no limp (has never limped) & is being more sociable. i soaked both feet last night, i guess i’ll keep doing that...?

also, left foot/ankle is fine, it really is just the toe. i can take another pic

To me it looks like an old/healing injury involving the toenail.
