My kittens burned foot is leaking fluids?

We are fostering a kitten that has infected burnt feet and one of his paws are leaking fluid. Is this normal? He is on antibiotics but I am wondering if we should take him back in. The paw is greenish because of the infection and it is the only green paw. Can anyone please explain if his infected paw is suppose to leak? He walks on it fine and doesn't seem to notice it. (For clarification, the paw is leaking like a popped blister only slower)

    It seems the antibiotics aren't very effective. Sometimes veterinarians let you come in if you have any questions about your pet free of charge after treatment. when you went to the vet they should have given you an after care sheet and that should've told you what to look out for. Either way it doesn't sound good, I think you should see the vet. Best of luck.
