Kathybaldwin Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Can you help please? I've noticed a very slight limp on Nutmeg, on checking her feet noticed a small black scab on one foot and on the other a large swelling on her 'sole'. It's quite swollen and puffy but doesn't feel like pus, they have a branch to climb up and down from their house but occasionally jump off the top of the roof down into the run when I come to feed them brekkie, some links say it could be them landing on the ground from a high area but they do have a soft landing bark and soil. There doesn't seem to be an entry hole on the swollen foot would bathing in epsoms salts help,? should I keep her confined for a while? Advice would be gratefully received. Thanks Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 It sounds like she might have bumblefoot, which is an bacterial infection. She will Need to see a vet for treatment. It happens when they have a tiny wound and the infection gets in. With treatment she should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
