Is this Bumblefoot?

[Canine and Co]

Hello, I noticed a swelling between my Rooster's toes and had a look underneath to see if it was bumblefoot. I cleaned it up and started to investigate. When I push his underneath pad aside, I removed a hardish lump of dirt and tried to clear up the area, but there wasn't really any pus coming out and I couldn't feel or see a plug. So i've been soaking his foot in epson salts, spraying his foot with Vetericyn and then put an antiseptic/antibacterial cream on it before wrapping it up. After doing this regularly over the last few days - this is what it looks it (in the pictures). What do you think? It doesn't seem to bother him (he is a pretty laid back Rooster) and he isn't limping. He roosts at night fine. Any advice would be brilliant thank you.

Yes it is. You will need to start treating for bumblefoot,,,,,

It’s in a tricky spot but yes it’s bumblefoot.

Keep doing what your doing.

Some people have been using tri-cide-neo in a soaking solution, with great results which has to be ordered online.
It’s a soluble antibiotic uses primarily for fish like koi.
I haven’t actually used it myself but I’d like to try it.

Thank you both. I put some magnesium sulphate paste on it yesterday and then had another look today. Although the swelling is still there, there doesn't appear to be any pus or any hard areas (there hasn't been hardly any since I first removed the little dark area about a week ago), I scraped away again at the little scab, it looks clean enough and just bleeds if I mess with it. I wonder if it is healing - which is my instinct (apart from the swelling - which hasn't got any worse). His feet are cold to touch (it is cold here). I've done the usual sprayed with Vetericyn and applied a good amount of antiseptic and anti-bacterial cream and re-dressed it. Am I just being impatient? Thanks as always for any advice.

Yes it's The Beginning
I've treated bumblefoot Successfully with Removal of the scab pouring some Oral Baytril On the wound and packed it with silver sulfadiazine ointment it works wonder and there's no scab on my roosters now

Wear gloves
You should start by soaking the foot
Add half ml Oregano oil in hot water and soak his feets for 15-20 min
Then use a towel grip and good flat twizers and try pushing the scab slowly

If it comes out on its own without much pulling it's good

Once remove just clean the blood and pour baytril and pack the wound with 1% silver sulfadiazine ointment and leave for at least 24hrs

I can't say myself @Carajean - but hopefully someone else with more experience can answer. Good luck with it.

I have never seen bumble foot like that her skin has peeled to where you can see the flesh under the scales. I wonder if frost bite I answered on your other post.

Update on Alan the Cockerel's Bumblefoot! I am struggling a bit here to know if this is getting any better or not. I have treated a Hen with bumblefoot at the same time and the plug came out cleanly and easily, however I have found this more of a challenge. Looking at the three pics of his foot from 6th, 9th and 16th Feb - what do you think - is it getting better/worse??? I think the swelling looks a lot less from the top - I would say that this has definitely gone down. Please help - any advice is gratefully received.
