One of the great things about hydrocolloid patches is they can get wet and not come off. As long as the edges are all stuck down when it's applied, it should be fine as long as it's not soaked.
Don't try to remove the patch because it will hurt the skin. It will fall off on its own.
The good news for you is no more soaking. However, I don't know how difficult it will be to keep your duck out of the water she wants to be in. If she can go without getting wet for a few weeks, that would be best for bumblefoot in any case. If not, the patches will at least keep dirt & bacteria out until they're soaked.
If possible, keep her foot padded and wrapped under the bootie. If the weather is warm where you are, that is probably a bad idea. Either way, you'll need to watch her closely to be sure she isn't getting overheated wearing them.
Any time you soak the foot and remove the lesion, leave it wrapped and padded for as long as possible.
