Swollen ankle, severe limping, bumblefoot?

[MountainMeadow]

One of my Blue Indian Runner ducks started limping and hobbling around trying to keep up with her gal pals. After I caught her I noticed how swollen her foot is. I don’t see the tell-tell sign of the black scab indicating bumblefoot, but there are two small scabs on the bottom of her foot. She can barely put any pressure on the foot.

Yesterday I gave her a warm Epsom salt water soak, applied Prid, and wrapped her foot. I’ll be doing that again tonight. She’s isolated in a kennel with dry bedding. She doesn’t seem to be eating or drinking much.

Does this look like bumblefoot? Or perhaps something else? I’m guessing that to know for sure I’d need a vet, but maybe others with more experience can share their opinions and suggestions.

The joint is very swollen and the skin has 2 small puncture wounds underneath the joint. I think there is infection in there causing her limping and general malaise.

Did you ever find out the problem and how to solve it? My female mallard is going through the same thing. I originally thought it was due to my male being extremely aggressive with her. Then saw bumblefoot. But swelling is exactly what your pic looks like. Please let me know what happened for you.
