Okay yes, more pics will help. It looks like Gaia might have a bumble on one of the toes.

What happened to her toenails?

Okay, if she has bumble foot you would see a small dark scab on her foot where the bump is. There may not be a bump, though, too.

To treat fill a tub or bucket or bowl with warm water and epsom salt. I also add a squirt of dish soap and betadine to mine but it is not necessary. She must soak her foot in it for at least 20 minutes per day for a few days. After each soak wrap her foot with triple antibiotic ointment (the kind without pain relief) applied to the scab, gauze over that and vet wrap loosely wrapped around the foot. Be very careful not to wrap too tight because you don’t want to cut off circulation. The idea is to get the scab softened up so you can remove it. It may take several days to get the scab soft enough to remove. If she’ll tolerate it, soaking twice a day may help move things along.

When you do finally remove it a core will come out hopefully with pus attached to it. If it does not, and there is still swelling on her foot or solid material inside, you will need to continue soaking, spraying an antiseptic such as Vetericyn on the open wound and then packing the hole with triple antibiotic ointment and wrapping. In place of the ointment some people use sugar dine or Prid to draw out infection and have good luck. I’ve used Prid with good results myself. You may have to do some gentle squeezing to coax pus out. Chicken pus is white and solid and cheese like in texture. The bumble will not be healed until all of the pus is removed and there is no more swelling. Try to avoid cutting into the foot if you can; ive see that spiral into major infections many times for people.
