Serious Bumblefoot infection in Rooster's toe.

[kdsres]

His right foot. Vet gave me antibiotics, which we used for a month, but it didn't help.
Do we need to lance the toe? Are there veins to avoid? Poor baby can hardly walk.
All help greatly appreciated! Burt (the Rooster) is a real sweetheart, completely
non-aggressive, and we soaked him nightly in Tricide-Neo, very expensive stuff, all
to no avail. He took the antibiotics orally, like a trooper, except he HATED the taste.
I sure need some help here! The Vet was no help. He said it wasn't the foot when
I took Burt in. Then grudgingly sold us $39 for 30 tablets of antibiotic when I went
back and showed him the pictures. So my Rooster has now cost $100 for a vet
that didn't help.
