So today all his toes seem even more swollen. He is walking on it a little bit now though so there is a bit of improvement.

Is there a tiny tiny splinter in there?
Have you tried a potato poultice?

http://www.healing-from-home-remedies.com/make-a-poultice.html might have to wrap him in a towel after first soaking his foot to get it good and clean then thoroughly examine his foot, for any splinter or cuts,

I'll double check it but I am pretty sure there is no splinter or cut-started thinking and maybe the water bucket got set down on his foot and "crushed" his toe? If it was badly bruised would that cause the swelling? Thank you for all your help by the way.

I'm sure that would cause swelling especially if it was full of water.

It was and my brother was watching them and I don't think he would have noticed. It is just around the bones that is swollen-so treat it like a sprain?

I would just soak in the Epsom salt a couple times an day and try to keep him from using his leg and foot much for this week, and maybe you'll see big improvement.
