If you see a bird walking with a limp, you should check it quickly for signs of bumblefoot and treat it right away. Clean the pus out of the bump, spray the wound with the antibiotic spray every day, and keep the wound clean and dry. As a bandage, use a pad that will soak up the blood and wrap it in vet wrap.
