According to the links that @dawg53 gave you, no - you don't need to pick at the bumblefoot:
I've used Tricide Neo and it works well treating bumblefoot. It's not necessary to cut into the footpad to remove the infection using Trineo
If you would like to post some photos we will be happy to look at them and offer other suggestions.
Procaine Penicillin G is an antibiotic, but it would not dry up bumblefoot. You can use that in conjunction with "traditional" Bumblefoot "surgery".
What methods of treatment have you tried?
I soak in warm Epsom salt for 20 to 30 min. Then I have picked the black scab off, spray with Vetricyn, pack with no pain relief neosporin. And wrap. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. And I have been successful at getting the Infection out, and it started healing, but I dont guess I got it all out because her pad is swollen and hard. So I am back to, soak, pick, spray, pack, wrap. I'm hoping the Tricide Neo arrives soon. I'll try and get a pic in a few when I work on her.
