Fungal root claw infection ?

[kay Lane]

So, i was cleaning my piggies today, cutting hair and bathing, when i realised one of zues's claws at the back was very wobbly. The root of the claw, on the actual toe was red and a tad puffy, and the claw naturally is sitting inwards, but is easily moveable. It doesnt seem to be putting him in any pain, but id imagine its quite uncomfortable.
Anyone have any ideas on what this could be ? Any home remedies ?
Ive searched for a while now on forums and sites but cant seem to find anyone else whos had this before

Anything like this needs to be checked by a vet if you are concerned. the last thing you want is for it to turn more sore and become a more difficult problem to treat. Home remedies, particularly for an undiagnosed problem, are not a good idea.

Please get it checked out by a vet.

We don't recommend home remedies on here, even more so when you don't know what you are treating. You need to see a vet to find out what the problem is. Perhaps he has just caught his nail and his toe has become inflamed
