feet

Hi everyone. Today when i picked up Buster, my male gp I noticed on his front foot that he had what looked like a piece of poop. So i wanted to remove it. But it wont come off. I think it might be a callus(sp?) But im not sure. Its hard and it seems to be tender if I touch it. I dont want him to be in pain. I'm going to call my vet in the moring. Does this sound like anything, anyone knows about or can help me? Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks again.

Hey Everyone

Just thought I would give everyone an update on Buster. I took him to the vet today. I was told Buster has Bumble Foot. I was given an antiseptic wash to soak his feet in, an antibodic, and told to give him extra vitamin c. I gave him his first foot soak a little bit ago. He was okay with it. I have to soak his feet for about five minutes then dry them off. He was happy for the first four minutes then the last minute he was ready to go back in his cage. And he also got his antibodic and he was okay with that too. I am so proud of him. He is being so brave and so pacient with me. I didnt hink he would let me do these thing to him. But he is doing great.

Hi everyone
this morning when i was soaking Busters feet i noticed that the other side of his feet are starting to get the "Bumble foot" also. That doesnt make sence to me if he is taking meds for it. Im confused. Hes feeet are real sensitive again.
