bumble foot

just went to the vet and one of my girls is developing bumblefoot. it is mild and he says we caught it just as it was arising, but he gave no antibiotics, only oral pain medication and instructions to clean the cage 1x a day for the next few weeks and keep an eye on it. just wondering if this...

Hi, our 4 and half year old Guinea pig has what could be the start of bumble foot and has been given antibiotics by our vet. We have a absorbent fleece lined C and C cage with a corex base resting on a wooden floor. Fleece is changed regularly. The vet suggested we use duvets under the fleece...

Hi, My poor lonely piggie (cage mate passed away - but we have just applied for a new piggie adoption! :D ), has a red patch on his hind leg. A year ago, it was smaller. I put Sudocrem and when I am diligent doing it every day, it seems to calm down. But it never goes away. Background info...

Hey, I'm really worried about my guinea pig, CC, who is 7 years old. He's breathing a bit noisily, and while his Bumblefoot on his back feet is getting better (no more white sores), his front feet are now showing symptoms like redness and swelling. His back legs are weak as well. Unfortunately...

I found my bercy with a huuuge foot spur this morning. Snipped it gently, he showed no signs of discomfort (looks really red in the picture but was NOT bleeding)—does this look like bumblefoot underneath? Calling the vet in just a moment, but does anyone have experience with these two things as...

Hello y’all! I want sh my first thread here could be a little more positive but alas, I need some second opinions. My female Guinea pig recently developed yellow hard and scabby bits of skin in between her front paw pads- see image below. She’s been eating as she usually does, and active as she...

Hi everyone i have attached a photo of my piggy Bear’s, foot. I don’t know if something is wrong or if his foot is just naturally red like that. He is very hard to pick up, he just now started trusting me by coming up to the cage to see me. I have never been able to really look at his feet. The...

there’s some kind of goop in my guinea pigs poop? where the red arrow is? this was taken straight after she passed it as i watched her go then thought i’ll just check it make sure it’s looking healthy and saw this? should i be concerned? i checked her over and she seems fine other than her...

*I’ve got a vet appt in a few days anyways but still wanted some opinions!* does this look like the beginning of bumble foot or something else? guinea pigs feet look red & irritated! back paws have red irritated patch towards the ‘heel’ of paws & the front paws are really quite swollen and a...

Hello, lovely folks. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Tried posting a video to see if someone could give me some insight into what this lesion on my Cooper’s foot might be, but it wouldn’t upload.. It is a little piece of skin on the side of his front paw that wiggles around.. noticed it...

Spurs or bumble foot? hi, my name is Michelle, I was given two guinea pigs as my class pets but I don’t really know much and I want to make sure I am taking good care of them. However I work at a private school with not a lot of extra money and I don’t want to annoy my boss, racking up vet fees...

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...

So a couple of months ago I noticed my boy Cornelius had a scab on his front foot. I took him to vets; we were advised to continue with Epsom Salt feet soak and to peel off the scab to allow the iodine solution to get into the area. Anyways, it didn’t improve... if anything it became more...

Hello, I'm posting this thread on behalf of my customer who has 2 guinea pigs who isn't sure what to do next and neither am I. I've got 10 guinea pigs of my own and used this forum in the past. One of the guinea pig foot has been swollen for some time now (a month or two). The owner took him...

Hello there! I came home from vacation yesterday (my mother watched over my pigs) and when I walked into my room, Henry didn’t greet me like usual. He didn’t squeak or run over to me. I thought that was a bit odd, but ignored it. Well, today I went to pick him up and noticed blood all over his...

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...

Hi.. I live in the U.S. and where I live there are zero exotic vets (for guinea Pigs) and my guinea Gus Gus has bumble foot... I’m scared. I don’t want to lose him! I’ve had the sweet baby since March and I have tried epsom salt soak with him... but, his sores are now open.. any antibiotic...

i think one of my guinea pigs has the worst luck! Having a quick look at him today and I think he has what looks like might be the beginning of bumblefoot? Very small amounts of scabs on the bottom of his two front feet, one worse that the other. He hasn't seemed unwell and literally just put...
