Oh I never noticed that cause they don’t let me hold them. Thanks for pointing that out. The treatment is epsom salt bath for a couple days or until the scab is loose then pull it off and scrape the pus out then use vet spray and wrap?

I would recommend spraying and wrapping after the Epsom salt bath. Keeping the scabs clean and moist will help soften the bumbles.
