I need help with suggestions of what to do next with my ducks foot. Initially I didn't know it was bumble. It was bleeding when I looked at it.ive applied prid and it has scabbed over. It still looks to semi bleed if I touch it. I didn't see a core at all and am not sure if I remove it how I could be of help because it just bleeds. Is there a chance there isn't a core? First picture is a couple days ago. Second picture is today. Usually with all the cases of bumble I've treated they don't bleed much and there's a noteble core that needs to be removed.

I wouldn't dig around in there right now. If it were my duck I would put triple antibiotic ointment on it (not the pain-free type), and top it off with this epsom salt poultice, gauze pad, and vet wrap. Keep her feet dry and change the wrap every day....after a couple days just going to the poultice. You may need to wrap it for a week or so. After a couple days, I would let her swim in fresh clean water, so she feels good, then bandage her back up. It's a hassle, but you really want that to heal up. https://www.amazon.com/Durvet-Equin...som+salt+poultice+horse+durvet,aps,159&sr=8-1
