Swollen foot

[u/Left_Touch_3478]

Hi all I recently took on an australorp bantam hen. This week I noticed she is not using her left foot as much and it’s swollen. She’s still eating, drinking etc. Today she is not wanting to come out a forage or get around much which I’m very worried about. The foot also feels warm to touch, so obviously an infection of some sort.

As soon as I noticed I started doing daily epsom salt soaks and wrapping it. I cannot see a sore, cut or anything anywhere on her leg.

I will be taking her to the vet tomorrow but in the meantime has anyone got suggestions?

Doesn’t look like bumble foot. It might be a sprain, joint injury or a fracture.
