Trying to figure out hens foot problem

[jaybud]

So I have a Golden sex link hen who just made a turn for the better while being sick. Now there seems to be a problem with her right foot. She tip toes around on it but won't lay it flat on ground to walk. I attached a pic in hopes somebody might be able to diagnose it for me.

Bumblefoot. It's an infection that needs to be completely removed.

So I cleaned her foot up, soaked it in epson salt, sprayed vetricyin and wrapped with gauze and vet wrap. I have here quarintined in a small cage in garage. Now should I quarintine here even though she feeds and is laying eggs still normally.

With bumblefoot, you can't just wash it, apply ointment, and hope. You have to literally cut out all of the infected tissue.

Finally got the crap out after days of soaking it in epson salt. Just had

to wait for it to dry up.
