Hey all! I'm wondering if any of you have some advice on what I can do for my rooster's foot swelling. At first I thought it was bumble, but I haven't really been able to find a "core" and it seems really swollen. I've been taking normal bumblefoot precautions and procedures, ei Epsom salt soaks, some hydrogen peroxide cleaning, and wrapping with triple antibiotic ointment. But for the 5 or so days I've been working at it, I haven't noticed much improvement. Any advice? His feet seem wet in the pictures because this was right after a soak, and his feet are naturally strangely colored, he's an ayam cemani mix. Thank you all in advance!

Have you just picked at those scabs, sliced them open or just soaked the feet?
I would see if I could squeeze something out of the foot. I see 2 places.
On the other foot, I would monitor the end of that toe.

Thanks for the advice! the swollen end of the toe had a small thorn in it which i took out a few days ago. as for the main foot, i have been tending to the two spots you pointed out, sanitizing, picking around, squeezing, ect. im just wondering what my next action should be, whether i should go for cutting and surgery or just keep trying to soak and keep it clean.
