Guinea pig paw pads

[Cheyenne_S]

Hiya! I've noticed that the paw pads of my guinea pig's front paws are swollen - or look very thick and flat. There are no wounds, no inflammation, no pain... so it's not pododermatitis. His paws have always looked a little wonky though. He's a rescue and his nails were very, very long when we got him. Does anyone have a clue about what this could be and if it's something I should be concerned about. Thank you so much in advance! x

If you are concerned about anything then it’s best to see a vet for a hands on check.
