Is this bumblefoot?

[Zig]

Okay, so long story short this is my first ever case of bumble foot. Which shouldn't surprise me since Sapphire here seems to be my disaster baby. Everything that can go wrong, goes wrong with her. For instance, no she's not a bantam, she just came out that small.

Anyways I'm 99.99% certain this is bumble foot even though I can't find a scab, just raw skin as you can see in photo number 2. What I need to know is how bad it is and if I need to get her to a vet asap, or if I can still handle this at home with my med kit and a some daily soaking on her part.

It does look like she has a black scab on her foot pad in the right picture. The swelling in the first picture is probably a continuation of that infection. There are several ways of treating bumblefoot. You can jump to the surgery, or treat conservatively with soaking, softening the scabs, and opening them to squeeze out any pus inside. You can use a drawing salve such as Prid or Betadine mixed with sugar, and wrap the foot in a dressing. Dressings may include gauze pads, Telfa (non-adherent pads,) gauze roll, and vet wrap. Some use a piece of pool noodle or other padding for the foot. You can do a lot of research on thes methods. I do think that the swollen area on top of the toe may need to be lances and squeezed eventually, no matter which treatment you do.
