Bumble foot?

ricear said:
Hello! I just noticed tonight that my Winston’s back foot is a bit swollen. I think it may be bumble foot? No sores or anything. Does anyone know how to treat it?

Okay so it wasn’t until I actually got a good photo of it that I noticed a sore. I did some reading and put a little bit of antibiotic ointment that the vet had given me. I also gave him some vitamin c directly in the mouth and I gave his foot a soak in epsom salt for a bit. I just noticed this today

I think that a photo is necessary for a diagnosis.
I'll tag @Wiebke @Siikibam and @VickiA to help you.

We don't diagnose on the forum at all. Even with a photo.

@ricear we don't recommend home treating without a vets diagnosis and suggestions. If the foot is swollen you need to see a vet to determine what you are dealing with. I am not experienced with bumblefoot but it could also be an injury from landing funny amongst other things. Each diagnosis would result in a different treatment and with no open sores I would guess that antibiotic cream wouldn't have any impact anyway.
