Browny showed no symptomsIf you search for bumblefoot here on BYC, you will find a lot of threads about treating it. Short answer is, you need to remove the scab and the plug of pus underneath. Pus is a semi-solid, cheesy like substance, not a liquid like for humans. Bumblefoot is a staph infection, usually in a scratch or small cut in the pad of the foot.
Symptoms are limping, or holding up the affected foot. There may be no symptoms, too.
