Hi,
I only just noticed that my guinea pig Bumblebee has got dead skin/overhanging skin on her front feet. Does anyone know what this might be? It's doesn't seem to cause her any trouble apart from today when she was outside and she cault it on somthing. It started bleeding and I bathed it in salt water. None of my other piggies seem to have this problem.
Thanks (I tried to get photos but her hair got in the way)

It sounds like a spur, which is very common in guinea pigs. Unless it is in danger of catching on something, it won't need any treatment.
