Over the counter help for bumblefoot

It looks to be healing up to me. We had a pekin with a bad case and I simply put a glob of Prid on a 2x2 gause pad and bandaged it to his foot. I did this before putting him in their house for bed and removed the bandage in the morning. It worked great and was much worse than your case.

Bast of luck!

I agree with @Jenbirdee for now use the Epsom salt poultice TSC has it. Wrap and keep the duck out of water while treating.
What does the chicken's foot look like?
Chickens foot is much worse. I don’t have pictures of it now, but I will get some tomorrow. It’s basically a giant swollen blob with a tiny puncture hole in it. I put drawing salve on it after a bath of Epsom salt. I also put antibiotics on it. It has clear fluid and pus draining from it. This is what the ducks foot looks like today. My concern is that he is still limping on it and that it is still warm to the touch. Not nearly as warm as it was when I started dealing with it a few weeks ago, but it still worries me.

Bumblefoot takes time to resolve. Soaking and using a drawing slave or the Epsom salt poultice is both good Keeping it wrapped until all swelling is down might help if it is still tender to walk on but honestly it doesn't look bad at all. I sure wouldn't cut into it. When my Runner had bumble I did have to put a slit into it with a scaple since it had a hard knot in the bottom of her foot. I was able to pop that out.
I mean if you think you should cut into that then do what you think is best I am just saying I wouldn't.
