Help! Quail Limping--Wart on Foot?

[MilotheQuail]

Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to taking care of quail, so I'm not very familiar with what is normal.
Recently, I've noticed my pet Coturnix quail has been favoring one of her feet a little more than the other--sometimes she seems to limp, other times she walks totally fine. She also seems to be resting more by sitting all the way down on her hocks rather than on just one foot like usual. Is this normal? When I turned her over, I noticed that the foot she keeps up has a small wart-like-bump on the toe. Her enclosure has a concrete floor, but I have also put down cloths, wood planks, and tubs of dirt and sand. It's also her first winter outside this year; it doesn't get colder than freezing point but she's also a loner. I've treated her in the past with triple antibiotic ointment for a mild case of bumblefoot, but she's since healed and this time it doesn't look like bumblefoot. Otherwise, she seems pretty happy. Overall, it doesn't seem too severe, but should I be worried? What should I do?

As you can see, there's a little bump on the toe, looks a little like a boil. I rubbed a little ointment on it in case it helps, but I don't know if it will. The other black marks I think are dirt, but it's not washed off easily.
Also, what is the best way to inspect the bottom of a quail's foot without stressing her out too much by yourself?

It may be bumble foot, which is an infection of the foot that occurs somewhere on the bottom of it typically and forms a bump. I have not had to treat it myself. I know there are threads and articles on treating it, particularly in chickens. Likely somebody had dealt with it in quail in here.

Thanks for the input! It didn't look like the typical bumblefoot to me, especially since the wound is not on the pad of the foot. Rather, the bump is on the toe and there does not seem to be any open wound or sore. However, I suppose it's possible that it's an infection of some sorts like bumblefoot. I will continue treating it with antibiotic ointments and maybe it will get better. Would you have any other suggestions as to helping her heal?

I am still new to quail. Not an expert here at all. I think antibiotic ointment is good though. Warm epson salt soak if possible. Keep her off wire. I would try to put something soft down in her cage/pen like recycled paper bedding or towels.

Good idea, I will be adding some more towels and such down so that the floor does not irritate her foot as much.
