Clover seems to have something on her foot. It's on the underside but doesn't hamper her running around like a mad thing.

I thought at first she'd got something stuck to her but having prodded and pushed it around, which she didn't like at all, I'm pretty sure it's not.

It's flattish and kind of light greeny brownish... if she was human I'd say it was something in the warty line.

Any ideas? I will make a vet appt tomorrow anyway just in case.

Have you soaked the foot in some water? Stuck dry poos or other much can be very hard to remove.
 
It could be a spur if you can't get it off as @Wiebke has suggested :) They are keratinous growths that are harmless, but if they get caught or trapped they can be trouble! Xx
