I stopped soaking because the foot was staying far too wet because she is oozing so much fluid from it constantly it was making all of the skin peel off of her feet and causing open sores so I laid off of it.I doubt that is mycoplasma synovitis, but I do think there are signs of tissue dying. It may not include the whole foot, but there may be parts. I would soak the foot once a day in warm water with some chlorhexidene or Betadine for disinfecting, and to promote healing. Apply plain antibiotic ointment to the foot after drying. Just as with frostbite, sometimes a chicken may lose part of a foot, toes, or all of the foot. It will self amputate in time. It may take weeks or a month to see where it happens. But I would try to prevent infection.
I have been treating it with some sprays and ointment and the antibiotics that I mix with water. I will keep doing this and see if it starts to help
Thank you for all the insight and info !
