Is this bumblefoot?

[edtheduck]

Hi! I've never dealt with bumblefoot before, but was inspecting my runner duck's foot and saw this scab. It isn't bothering her, but was wondering if this looks like bumblefoot. Is there anything I should do for this?

Thanks so much in advance!!

I don't think it is bumblefoot yet, so I would treat it. you can use saline solution if you have it.

Thank you so much!! Is Vetericyn poultry spray a substitute for saline solution?

I believe so, and @ruthhope should be able to help with more information and the best way.

the problem is the wound can turn into a bumblefoot, and I'm not sure if you are supposed to take off the scab
