Hey, I hope this is in the right topic.

Yesterday when I was clipping my boys' nails, I noticed that one of them has 2 scabs on one of his foot. I saw one of them, it's like a ball on his foot and the other one that I couldn't see but felt with my fingers is in his palm (I hope you can understand). I couldn't look at it, because he really hates being held..
His weight hasn't decreased and he still runs around almost all the time..

Could it be bumblefoot? I know you can't give diagnosis, especially if you can't see it, but should I be scared?
Thought I'd keep an eye out and if nothing has changed till Sunday, I'll call the vet.. would it be okay?

Could you post pictures, please? How To Post Photos

Unless there is a quick change, booking an appointment when you are free is fine.
