Again today, I just now noticed something wrong with one of my pigs. I gave Popcorn her butt bath and just now noticed a bump with a scab(s) on her left front paw. It's not so large but when you feel around it's pretty prominent. on the same area was a small cut. it is already closed. I think it has been there for a few days and I only noticed it now because of her bath. I hope its not something that has to do with mites or something too serious. I'm still trying to "diagnose" Cotton and need to do the same for Popcorn, seeing that we will be travelling somewhere tomorrow afternoon and they need to be treated before we leave so nothing will worsen. Having an idea of whats going on would help me a great deal.
 
There's no way we could diagnose as we're not vets. It could be a bite, it could be fungal, it could be bumblefoot. If it changes at all, then she'l need to see a vet

Yes, we've already booked the earliest appointment possible which is unfortunately the 26th, 2 days from now. Hopefully she can hang tight for a little longer but she doesn't seem affected by it at all and she acts like her normal self which is good.
