How do I know if bumblefoot is healed?

My chickens have scaly leg mites and when I gave them a foot rub with VetRX after an Epsom foot soak, I noticed that two of them have scabs on the bottom of their feet that looked like bumblefoot. I wasn't prepared for it so I put them back on the roost.

I'm going on vacation next week for one week, so I was planning on soaking their feet this week, then applying Prid drawing salve and wrapping their feet until I get back. One of the scabs actually came off yesterday.

When I come back from vacation, how much longer should I keep their feet wrapped? Just until all the scabs come off?

Do you have photos?

Personally, I would not begin treatment until back from vacation.

IF the feet need any treatment and wrappings, they need to be checked daily. Leaving them for a week would not be a good idea.

Just got back from vacation and started treating them for bumblefoot. I noticed that 3 hens now have bumblefoot.. I think it's because we made the mistake of not clearing some of the brush we cut down that had sticker bushes.

I soaked their feet in Epsom salt for 10 minutes, sprayed Vetericyn, applied a hydrocolloid dressing and wrapped it in vet wrap. Hoping I won't have to cut it out but I'm already looking at ordering a scalpel.

Does the first picture look infected? It was one of the hens that had it before I left, when it was only one black scab. It looks like it had dried out in person but in the photos it looks like it's spreading. It was also at night so it was hard to see. I also can't tell if the black scab fell out on its own in the second photo. Both feet looked the third photo before I left for vacation last week.
