Bumblefoot ?

[benjerrynobu]

Hi there I have three guinea pigs. Ben and Jerry are almost two years old and I have an almost 6 month named Nobu. I have never dealt with bumblefoot before, so I’m not sure if Nobu has it. All the pictures I look up shows red and scabbed feet his just look like bumps? I am adding a picture for reference. I know the best thing would do is obviously just bring him to the vet, but maybe I am just overthinking and that’s how piggies feet look? I have noticed though he always drags his two legs behind him in his cage or on my bed when we cuddle. During play time though he uses all four and can run. Not sure please let me know what you think. Thank you and love from me and the pigs!

Edit: I cant seem to add a photo on here can anyone help

Bumblefoot is open wounds and sores on the foot pad.

Are all of them boars and do they all live together in the same cage?
If so then do note that a boar trio is highly unstable and usually doesn’t work long term. Ensure you have a separation plan in mind particularly given Nobu is coming up to hormone spikes.

Welcome to the forum. When you say he drags his back legs during cuddle time is it like Dignified Sir George is demonstrating below? If yes, then he is utterly relaxed.
