Is the bumblefoot getting better?

[cynesthesia]

This is my first time dealing with bumblefoot on my Easter Egger's feet, so I'm not sure if it's healing ok. There hasn't been the dark scab for this and the last 3 days checked. However, the feet pads are still pink.

D: no one knows?

Is the first photo before treatment and the second one after? Pink is fine, I mostly check for swelling and to ensure any new scabbing over the area looks clean.

I just need a little clarification. Which picture of the foot was taken first and which was the newest.

They're both taken yesterday-one of each foot.

Thanks! They're both taken at the same time - one of each foot. Her feet also don't feel hot.

Once they start scabbing over then they will start to heal.

Like @rosemarythyme said. If the scabbing looks clean and the swelling is going down and not getting worse then progress is likely being made. It takes time. Hope this helps!

From what I can see the first photo/first foot has the worse looking spot, but it doesn't look awful, so I'd continue with daily epsom salt soaks and just watch the progress of the scabbing (you want it to look clean and not hot/swollen).

Second foot looks more or less ok as-is, but should benefit from the soaks without you having to do anything extra, I think.

Yeah, one of the feet was initially worse than the other. I also still have the Vetricyn to spray on. She's been tolerant of the treatment so far and eats the dried mealworms during the Epsom salt soak. Even ate some after I removed the really dark scab. She's almost as heavy as my light Brahma.
