bumblefoot

Hey everyone! I have a lovely old lady named Wuppie. She's a sweet girl and I adopted her around may. The last couple months, lots of issues just stacked up one after another. First we discovered arthritis in her legs and her fat belly was actually a giant cyst. She's very wonky and the vet just...

I’m phoning the vet tomorrow morning for an appointment But in the meantime, my poor Prawn, it’s one problem after another. He’s just recovering from a hay poke and today I have him his usual check over and noticed the pads on his back feet look sore 😔 He’s arthritic and epileptic, and he...

Hello everybody! I'm worried about our 2.5 year old boar Manteli. We have had him and his brother for almost a year. Yesterday night he became very different from his usual self, it was like he was scared and suspicious of everything in sight. He is a shy boy in general but this was different...

Hi, I’m a new pig owner of 2 (Ten and Donna) and I’m worried they might have bumble foot. I've only included Ten's pictures here, but Donna's looks about the same (on both the front and back paws). I can’t tell if the spots on their feet are just spurs or not. They’ve both been moving around...

Hi guys, I’ve just noticed my 4.5 year old pig Sunny is limping and not putting any weight on her front left foot. Please see picture attached with her normal right foot for comparison. I’ll be booking a vet appointment in the morning but in the meantime does it look like it could be bumble...

Hi everyone. We have two guinea pigs at home that are about 18 months old. We clearly haven't been looking after their feet well enough at all. Their nails are very long and I think both piggies front feet are suffering from bumblefoot. I'm going to ring a vet first thing in the morning...

Hi it's been a bit I've talked to a vet and they said that Manny's foot is at the very beginning of pododermatitis. For now I need to keep an eye on him, make sure he gets his vitamins and try to get him from sleeping in his litterbox. I just rearranged their cage so he wouldn't be tempted...

So for awhile I've been noticing a red spot on my boy Manny' foot. It has been there since I got him. But just this week I realized it could be an infection. Right now I can't get veterinarian care but I've read that soaking the foot in warm water and Epsom salt and then wrap it and do that...

Hiya! I've noticed that the paw pads of my guinea pig's front paws are swollen - or look very thick and flat. There are no wounds, no inflammation, no pain... so it's not pododermatitis. His paws have always looked a little wonky though. He's a rescue and his nails were very, very long when we...

Hi, I noticed my guinea pig has some kind of soft bumps on both of her feet. I went to the vet, she didn't know what it is, tried to scratch it and it started bleeding a lot. On one feet it is larger than on the other. Guinea pig is eating like normal, running and doesn't seem to change its...

Hello, I’m reaching out to get some advice on my sick Guinea pig. I have a 1 1/2-year-old female, American bred named pepper. Pepper cohabitates with her sister who is the same age as her. I took Pepper to the vet suspecting she had bumblefoot and the vet confirmed this. Pepper's vet prescribed...

Hi! I am new to the forum and would appreciate any advice you can give! My boars issues are partly medical separation and behavior, so I am sorry if this is the wrong thread. Recently I noticed that my dominant boar Echo (~2.5yrs) has started developing a red sore on one of his front feet, I...

I wanna start by saying for context the swelling (which I believe is bumble foot) was mostly likely caused by the soft poops he’s been having in his enclosure from veg. Mocha is a senior (turning 6 this year) and he gets soft poops when eating veg (1 cup a day of lettuce, carrots, and bell...

Hello. I am new here although I have been lurking a long time. I have 9 guinea pigs and my oldest is Oscar. He is a 6 year old boar and has developed bumblefoot. I've kept piggies for around 30 years and only had one case before and that sadly was lethal. We have been to the vet and he has...

S'mores used to be my niece's but she didn't care for her properly so she was given to me. When I got her she had growths on her front legs but I took her to a vet and she just trimmed them and said they weren't an issue. One of the growths was ripped off when Smores jumped off my lap this...

I returned home from a week's holiday yesterday (six hour drive 😭) and my two hooligans stayed with a friend as opposed to my nan after their recent hay poke adventures (my nan can't see if anything is in/near the eye). And I cannot fault how she's looked after them. Both look happy and if I'm...

I saw streaks of blood in the cage (c&c with fleece) and noticed that Layla’s heels seem to have been chafing against the fleece possibly? Her foot itself looks like it had been bleeding a bit but not much at all. What can I do to help disinfect and heal the skin on her feet?

Does my guinea pig have a foot problem, maybe bumblefoot? She’s been pregnant for a while now so I haven’t held her in a long time. Today I held her and while she was lying down, her back foot came up and I noticed a bump. I didn’t want to scare her by picking up her leg since she’s very...

So, in my last thread I was explaining how I saw that one of my guinea pig's feet were really red. Signs Of Bumble Foot / Swollen Feet? So basically everyday when I come home from school, Cookie always kinda puts her baws on the little wire of her cage to come greet me and I took a look her...

So, I have two female guinea pigs one named Cookie, and the other Cream. Just about 45 minutes ago I was cleaning their cage and Cookie was running around the cage I was not cleaning at the time and I noticed her feet are reeaaally red. So, obviously I got concerned and since neither of them...
