no- do they need it??

Yes I checked. Neosporin is triple antibiotic cream. So long as there is NO -caines in it, it is perfect.

if you have no epsom salts then scrub the foot with warm water and ordinary soap.

It might be an idea to post pics of the foot here in case that helps people give better more specific advice. Eg whether it is on the top of the foot or underneath, how big it is etc

Excellent guide here https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/bumblefoot-surgery-with-pics-and-how-to.236649/

I went on YouTube to find something for you and quite honestly there are some horrific examples there that I just couldn't recommend.

Make sure everything is clean. Ideally boil your tweezers and blade or hold under a flame or at the least spray them with the vetrycin. Different ways to sterilise.

Honestly the wrapping in a towel will make it so much easier to calm the bird and keep them still, and their wings from flapping/struggling to escape.

Best of luck. It's 2am here in the UK so I'm going to bed.

I'm sure someone else will step in to help you here. I'll tag @Eggcessive and @aart who always give good advice too.
