Blue Copper Maran with Bumble Foot

Update: So far the maran is doing okay in terms of healing. The area around the scabs are still red, but she walks and acts perfectly fine. When I was cleaning her wound today with dish soap instead of hydrogen peroxide, I accidentally scrubbed off the scab. I decided to push around to see if yellow kernels would come out, but instead I got thin, goey semi-translucent white puss that came out in a sort of string (like snot.) I didn't force anymore out since I wanted to remove the scabs next week and see if there are by chance any kernels. I did not take pictures since I was incredibly busy in the morning. Once I take off the scab next week, I will show the puss.

Thanks everyone for their help!

Oh, and to add, I am still soaking in epsom salt, cleaning the wound, spraying vetricyn, applying trible antiobiotic, and prid when I change the bandages.
I've never run into the stringy material in the foot when dealing with Bumblefoot, but @coach723 has.
