I've been keeping an eye on Buddha's foot, and it seems like it's still swollen. But it's only on his back pad, and nowhere else. It's not causing him pain, and there is no puss. I couldn't get in to see the vet today. My F&M ointment came yesterday, and I've been using it. I'm also going to do an epson salt soak and give him a bath today. Do I need to be worried about this? (Sorry about the poor picture. He was squirming)

Can you get to a vet tomorrow?
My personal practice is to go to the vet with any concern.
This way I get a proper diagnosis and treatment if necessary.
If there’s nothing wrong at least I’ve been reassured and there is no harm done except to my vet fund.
Keep us posted

The F and M ointment will help but if it is proper Bumblefoot he will need antibiotics. Only a vet can tell you if it’s Bumblefoot and what is affected, but my feeling is that he does need to see a vet tomorrow if possible.
