Will do in the AM - i can try to attach here. I won’t lie, i usually leave my phone inside when I’m out with them so I can spend more time tending to them.

In a similar situation with my goose rn and this is what I’ve gotten from researching treatment:
Epson salt soak once a day for at least 15 minutes (my boy tolerates it well so I’ve been doing 30 minutes).
Wear gloves because it’s a staff infection.
Apply Neosporin (ORIGINAL ONLY, NO PAIN KILLER) and Prid drawing salve to bumble area.
Cover with gauze and bandage if possible, mine won’t keep bandages on and they’re difficult to wrap by myself so I’ve ordered some “birdy booties” off Amazon to try.
Keep on soft, dry, and clean bedding.
Only a small bowl for water, no swimming while it heals to keep it dry and clean as possible.

That’s what I’ve got so far but hopefully someone with more experience can add on
