my guineapigs have sore feet dose anyone konw if it can be caused by bedding ?
Hi! Can you please post a picture? There are several issues that can be involved.
- What kind of bedding are yours on and who often do you change it?
- Do your feet have scabs/open sores or horny growths?
- Are you seeing sore red spots or larger red areas?
Hi!
The good news is that it is not the early stage of bumble foot (pododermatitis)
I would recommend to change the bedding fairly regularly because sitting in their pee can cause mild urine scald. if you have fleece, check the washing powder you are using; a simple non bio without additives may be best.
I do NOT recommend to treat with lots of creams as that can make the skin very soft and more susceptible to bugs/infections, which can create a real problem.
