Thanks for reaching out about Sunapana but we are unable (illegal) to prescribe or recommend a specific treatment without a physical examination. Epsom salt foot soaks can help decrease inflammation but agree that systemic antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are needed. Providing clean padded perches can decrease pressure on the lesions. Diets deficient in vitamin A can be a factor as if Sunapana is overweight. A veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
