Ugh, Bumblefoot!

[Shoemaker319]

So my young Cayuga duck has Bumblefoot!
ive been doIng everything I can. Soaking in Epsom salt, spraying if, putting Neosporin on its he’s just not getting any better. The foot has gone limp and he’s not putting any pressure on it but honestly the spot isn’t even that big. I don’t see any puss nor “seed”infection.
need help on what else I can do!
I feel like wrapping him like this isn’t helping either but it’s the best I can do

Could you take the bandage off, and post a picture of the Bumblefoot?

Don't take offense to my post, but the bandage she has on right now has been wrapped incorrectly, so unless you figure out how to do it correctly, I would not wrap the foot.

Yes. it’s wrapped improperly lol but there’s no other way I can do it. With the way the foot is
I attached pictures of it unwrapped

It doesn't look that bad.

Could you take a video of her walking, upload it to a video platform like Youtube or Vimeo, and copy/paste the link here?

I can in the morning! But the joint is swollen from what I can see. When she walks she doesn’t put any weight in it. Just hops.
I don’t think it’s bad either but I’m just worried in why the foot is starting to curl like that and how can I fix it

We'll take a look at the video in the morning, and we'll go from there.

Bumblefoot is very easy to fix. And it seems like you have caught it early. I would soak it in Epsom Salt everyday preferably 20 minutes a day. But you can slowly work your way up to it. For every coffee cup amount of water add a tablespoon of the Epsom salt to it. Epsom salt is very cheap and can be found in all large retail stores. Also, if you have any antibiotic cream I would apply it after the soak. Hope this helps!

@Isaac 0 Almost looks like an injury or niacin deficiency the way she’s standing on her foot.

How long has she been like this?

Looks like it *might* be a slipped tendon.
