Definitely get it checked at vets. I had a piggy, many years ago, who got an infection in a bone in her toe and ended up having part of her foot amputated. I am not saying anything like that could happen but better to get it looked at xx
Gosh.. that is what happened to me at 7 days old, i got a bone disease and nearly lost my leg.. will get an appointment made..
 
One of my girls Peaches had this. After some anti biotics and anti inflammatory it had totally gone down within around 4 days.
Not that it matters, but roughly how much are anti biotics so i can make sure i am prepared as my first vets visit didnt go well..
 
Yeah, but at least this time it's anitbiotics and not sprays.

You can always try Forest Vets but I have no idea how much their meds are :/ only taken ours for health checks.

There's Rushcliffe vets as well in West Bridgeford.

I can't remember exactly. But I think for the vet to see Peaches, give the antibiotics and anti inflammatory sit cost around £30 ish.
 
Thanks every one... Going to ring tomorrow for an appointment.... X
