Poor Bunny has really been going through it.

He's been suffering from bladder stones (one manual removal, one surgery and an upcoming surgery in just over a week).

Today, we noticed this flap of skin on his foot.

The vet has asked for these pictures but, to us, it looks pretty serious so wondered if we should consider this as an emergency while we wait for his vet to see the pictures.

Thank you in advance !

I’d definitely get it checked …it’s so easy for a piggy’s foot to get infected and with surgery happening it’ll need to be sorted before

Thank you! His bladder stone situation suddenly got worse so we had to take him to the vet (a guinea pig specialist).

He confirmed that its bumble foot and a course of F10 cream should cure it effectively.
