does this look like bumblefoot?

Hi,

Would anyone know if this looks like bumblefoot on front and rear feet? Thank you!

The pictures do look like bumblefoot. Though it could just be spurs and urine scald irritated by overgrown nails causing the foot to be placed wrong. If this is your pig and you are not comfortable trimming nails then you can take them to the vets for nail trimming.
I think that the pig/pigs need to see a vet for a proper diagnosis and the correct medicines prescribed if necessary.

Bumblefoot is open sores, so it does look like it could be. A vet will need to diagnose and prescribe the right treatment and pain relief.

Make sure you keep the bedding very dry, changing several times a day.
If you are using fleece and aren’t already using pee pads, then it can be a good idea to do so while the foot issue is going on. It means you can place the pee pads in high traffic areas and inside hides as they can be more easily removed during the day than changing the whole fleece.

I hope your piggy is ok

Good luck at the vets. I hope it clears up quickly.

Hi

This looks bumblefoot scabs to me. Spurs grow typically on the sides of the pressure pads of the underside of a foot while bumblefoot sows are located on the weigh bearing pressure pads themselves where the risk of bugs getting into the skin through tiny cracks is greatest - the feet are generally not looking great with overgrown nails and irritated skin from likely being left to sit in their own excrement in an uncleaned cage for long spells of time.

I assume that they are new arrivals of yours?

Please see a vet. There is no one assured treatment for bumblefoot. It depends on the severitynd what kind of bug is causing the infection.
