Bumblefoot?

I see. My main issue is that I myself cannot drive and the nearest vet is a 2-hour drive from where we live. It’s hard to go there (as much as I would like to), so I was hoping it was possible to cure from home.

As you can’t correctly diagnose from home any treatment you attempt is basically an experiment…

Is it possible to make her better from home, or is it necessary to see an expert?

It isn’t that I don’t want to, the problem is that it’s very, very hard to go to the vet. I was hoping there’d be some way I could reduce the swelling and get her back to normal without a medical expert’s diagnosis.

Is there a local vet who would be willing to liaise over the internet with an avian vet elsewhere? My rabbit vet does this. It's an extra fee for you, but this could be the answer.

I’ll definitely look into that, I think they might do that

I also did some research on how to help from home, and I found that wrapping the perches with bandage/cloth material can help her feet. I have half of the perches right now, and when she’s fully accustomed to them, I’ll do the other two.
