is this bumblefoot!?- desperate need for help

[lilykay]

My duck has been walking with a bad limp for a while now and it started off with the middle toe being swollen and a scab (I think it was black but with her dark skin it's hard to tell). I put her on anti-biotics (in her water) for a week. No effect. I went on holiday for two weeks and when I came back the swelling had moved up the heel of her foot as shown in the photo. Middle toe stil slightly swollen and you can kind of see the old scab on the middle toe. I have been soaking her foot everyday with iodine and epsom salts and then bandaging her foot with neosporin next to it (anti-biotic and pain relief in cream form). Done that for a week but very little effect (just got a tinsy bit softer and possibly lighter). Thinking of doing surgery but I want to be sure that it is bumblefoot before I do that. I am also concerned that there is no scab over the main swelling so do I just cut into the skin? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please don't use antibiotic creams with topical pain reliever for birds. I'm sorry I can't remember why. All I recall is that my avian vet told me not to more than once. Use the antibiotic ointment without pain reliever.

The foot on the right looks swollen to me but I haven't ever seen bumble on black feet.

What kind of antibiotic was she put on, for how long, and at what dose?
