Bumblefoot or something else? Help!

[josieanne99]

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 advance!

Hi!

Bumblefoot is infection usually in the food pad that causes swelling and large open sores in advanced cases.
This looks more like tickened skin like you find in harmless spurs (dead skin growths).

I agree with Wiebke - looks more like a foot spur to me, too. But I’d keep an eye on it to see if it changes or if the foot becomes swollen.

Thank you that’s very reassuring I’ll definitely keep an eye on it
