#bumblefoot

Hi! I found that one of my piggies has bright red spots on his feet. We haven’t noticed much of a difference in his walking but he does seem to jump more and hop rather than walk. We recently got him and he has spent a lot of time in a little cloth hidey but does come out when we aren’t around...

Our guinea pig Kobu has been recovering from a neutering so he has been put in a smaller cage by himself to recover and sometime between weekly cage cleaning his foot started looking like this, we have started Epsom salt foot baths and the swelling has started to go down, but we are trying to...

Hi! I recently rehomed two amazing Guinea pigs about two months ago. I noticed they both had pinkish/red heels. However, in the past couple of weeks, it seems like they have gotten worse. They are in the midwestern cage and I took out the wire ramp to see if that might be causing an issue. I...

Hey! So I’m wondering if anyone can help, I got my pig out today and noticed this on her foot. It’s only on one foot (front) and only in this place. I’m worried it may be the start of bumblefoot but it doesn’t look much like other cases i’ve seen. Has anyone seen anything like this? Thanks in...

Hello, I am new to this forum, but I have had guinea pigs for most of my life. One of my piggies has a spur on her front foot (no big deal), however today I noticed a bump on her other front foot. Does it look like bumblefoot? She has black spots on her pads and it makes it difficult.

So I think one of my piggies has Bumblefoot, her feet are red and a bit swollen and I think there’s a scab or two on her feet. I’ve read that I need to clean the bedding regularly (I use saw dust) and use Epsom salt. Is there anything else I can do? If nothing gets better than I’ll take her to...
