Not sure if this bumblefoot is healing?

[TabithaandtheBiddies]

I'm dealing with bumblefoot for the first time. My silver-laced Wyandotte was limping and after a quick check I found the unmistakable black scab. I bundled her up, soaked her foot for ten minutes in Epsom salts, and dug out the bumble. There was no oozing or discharge, just a pink crater under the scab. I treated it with Vetericyn, then covered it with Neosporin, gauze, and Vetwrap. I've been changing it every two or three days, wiping it down with chlorhexidine, spraying with Vetericyn, and reapplying the Neosporin, gauze, and Vetwrap. The first picture is before treatment and the second picture is after two weeks. Is that a healthy scab or do I need to go back in with a scalpel? It's still a little swollen, but it's not hot and she isn't favoring it as much as she was before I started.

Changing it more often and making sure it's( her foot and the wrap) constantly clean might help more... If she's looking better, that's great. It doesn't look like much changed.. you might have to or get someone to surgically remove the infection and treat her from there.

You can use sugardine to help draw out any infection, it's worked well for me on some bad bumblefoot cases. It will also help get the swelling down. Even very small bumbles can take some time to heal up. See post #8 here:
