Bumble or not ?I have a duck with some sort of infection on her feet, so I treated it like bumble foot but after I got the black scab off there was no sign of a core , the lump on her foot was soft .I tried to lance one foot but got alot of bleeding so I swabbed with betadine and wrapped them up and gave her antibiotics. IDEAS ?

Take the poor thing to the vet.

Without knowing exactly what it is, and the right medication needed, the duck could get a worse infection. Only a vet would know for sure.

What kind of antibiotics are you giving? Antibiotics and keeping that foot really, really clean is the way to go. Sometimes soaking in Epsom Salts warm water a couple of times a day will help. If you can take the duck to a vet that knows about ducks, that would be best.
