So for those of you that remember miss nugget has some sore tootsie problems, just got over a nail bed infection from a broken toe that led to the delay of her ovariectomy in time for the rearranged op...
Now since the op she's been a little lazy, she sure can give me the runaround when she wants to and is active when she chooses but has been a bit lazy, she does like to stand on those back feet a lot to have a chat through the bars to us 💞 she's bedded on fleece with puppy pads are under, I change the fleece daily, poop pick twice a day and change the hay pile twice a day but she does like to sit in wet hay 🙄
Anyways I've booked an appointment which was next monday at 6:15pm to get those tootsies looked at, pretty sure the front paw is a spur but the back one looks rather sore, was worried about bumble foot but from doing forum searches I think it's simply a sore foot 🙈 question is what can i do in the meantime hibiscrub has been suggested but I can't find any that'll get here before the appointment anyway 🤦‍♀️

Oh those look exactly like Jezzy floof's feet! We use CLX paw wipes and gorgeous guineas F&M cream, I think you could clean them with saline or even just an unscented baby wipe or face wipe though if the skin isnt broken at all, then once they are thoroughly dried pop some vaseline on to protect them. Definitely worth a vet check but if the skin isnt broken no need to panic x
