Where are you located in the world? What's your temperatures been like?

They look infected.
You may need to give her an oral antibiotic in addition to tending her feet daily.
Baytril would be good to use, but keep in mind it's banned for use in poultry.
Amoxicillin may help.

What do you recommend Baytril or Amoxicillin? What would you do?

I'm located in Socal so around 75degrees on average.

Depends on the bird and what I was going to use it for - is she a pet and you don't care about eating her or her eggs (and you can throw out her eggs) then Baytril would be better.

If you want to eat eggs after a short withdrawal period, then Amoxicillin.

Thanks so much for the help

Seems to be improving slightly. Feet are sill discolored but instead of point of swelling and puss the whole foot is swelled.
Should I think of Antibiotic's are what other treatments should I look into?

I have used amoxicillin, but it still takes a long time for this to clear up, and then that bird may become prone to it in the future. It's not like chickens can exactly stay off of their feet while healing.

This info is on the web...
Bacteria, including staphylococcus spp. have been identified in some rare cases of bumblefoot, if the wound has not been noticed and treated before it becomes acute. Typically antibiotics, such as erythromycin or penicillin, are prescribed by the vet, if the infection is serious enough.

I don't know if it would help, but I read of someone using Mupirocin on bumble?
