IS THIS BUMBLEFOOT?!

[HuzzyP5]

I’m just wondering if this is bumblefoot? I’ve noticed he was limping like a week ago and he’s been lifting his left leg (the possibly infected one) quite a lot. So far I’ve only put on some Vaseline and a bandage so when he walks on it, it doesn’t hurt as much. I just need to clarify if this is bumblefoot and if it is, is there any home remedies rather than like taking the scab off and squeezing the infection out

Yes, it's bumblefoot.
Eventually, the scab has to come off but it's best to soak the foot and apply a drawing salve and antibiotic ointment.
There is also a product called Tricide-neo that is very effective at curing bumblefoot.
Take a look at this thread for advice on it's use.

Thank you. I just noticed it on one of my quails today. I was looking at what appears to be a broken toe on the same foot. I soaked and peeled it off but I thought it was just hardened poop. I'll get the ointment you suggested too.

That does look like bumblefoot. There’s a good article about it, and I’m sure lots of threads. Wishing you luck!
