Swollen foot? PLEASE HELP!
While I was on vacation for two weeks, I had my neighbor take care of my piggies while I was gone. When I arrived back home today, I was holding one of my pigs and noticed that one of her toes looked a little swollen and had a little caked in blood on it. She is walking normally, but I'm not really sure what it is. I can post a picture of it, but does anybody have an idea on what may have happened? Thanks :)

What kind of bedding do you use? And how often do you clean the cage out? It sounds like your pig has bumble foot: http://www.guinealynx.info/pododermatitis.html

I have been using fleece and i usually do a FULL clean out once a week but since i was gone, i just added many layers of towels underneath. It doesn't quite look like a bumble foot. It's mainly just on her one toe. @PigPandemonium

We really need to see a clear picture. We can't diagnose a foot problem just from a description.

This isn't my pigs foot, but this is pretty much what it looks like. My pig would NOT let me take a picture of her foot... @bpatters
