Hi. I got one of the girls out, Minja, a few minutes ago and noticed something on her foot. Any ideas? It seems she can walk okay, but since she's a prey animal I'm not sure.

What is it you can see?
It looks normal to me except a small dot.

Sorry, the quality isn't that good. 
It kinda looks similar to the colour of her foot, surrounded by a white ring which feels a little rough. My mum said it looked like a corn, but I didn't think piggies could get those?

The picture is not good enough to really say; it looks like a scab or something? Please have it checked by a vet.

I will find a better camera in a minute. It's 8pm where I am and the only vet open is with a emergency care one, who are not good with 'exotic vets' (I had brought my hamster there -R.I.P Nibble- and they did do not do the right diagnosing we realised after sending him to a different vet later on. Brought Ginny there and they advised to them him muesli as it is good for him
).

It is not an emergency; just see the vet when it is convenient for you next week. The foot doesn't look infected or painful.

Oh, that's good. ^_^
I was planning to have all the guineapigs taken to Taverham vets this or next week, so I'm lucky it didn't appear after that.

That will do nicely!
