We have a hen that we thought had bumble foot, so we took it off and cleaned it, but it just seemed to be a big callus. We have kept it clean and wrapped, but now her whole foot is swollen. We soaked her in epsom salt and applied some silvex because antibiotic ointment wasn't doing anything. We gave her the recommended dose of amoxicillin and plan to give her some ibuprofen in a bit. I don't want to unwrap her foot to take pictures, but will the next time we do it. The wound actually doesn't look bad, but the foot is swollen. What else can we do? Thank you!
