Adult Guinea Pig
So as some of you may know Larry has quite severe arthritis due to his diabetes, despite only being around 2.5 years old.
His toes on the outside of his front feet curl inwards, as do his nails.
When cutting his nails today I've noticed the toe on his right foot looks red and sore (it looks worse than the picture shows)
He kind of walks on the sides of his feet a little, if that makes sense?
It's just the one toe on the one foot.
Bedding wise he is normally on fleece liners with a soft fleecy bed, but sometimes I also use Vetbed.
Is there anything I can do? It doesn't seem to cause discomfort when touched but his arthritis is quite severe in his legs, hips and back and he sort of waddles, so it's difficult to tell if his toe is affecting his movement or not.
He is currently on 0.15ml-0.2ml dog metacam 2 x day.

I don’t have any advise but am sending him lots of healing vibes x
