Is this bumblefoot? Poor Barney is limping. If so how do I treat it?

Thank you so much!!Yes, I soak the feet in a warm epsom salt bath for 10 min and then use blunt tweezers to remove the plug. Then I dab on Vetericyn or iodine and let it dry. After that I apply Neosporin (without pain killer) and wrap with a bit of vetwrap adhesive bandage. I mostly follow the instructions here: https://www.tillysnest.com/2015/12/non-surgical-bumblefoot-treatment-html/ but do not isolate. We tried to keep our first girl in, but she and the rest of the flock screamed until we brought her back. We do keep an eye on them to make sure no one bothers the bandage.
Hope Barney feels better soon![]()
