Sore Foot...with pics

[Bundyrats]

Hi, I got home tonight and have noticed that Rosie's back right foot is slightly swollen and she is favouring it a bit. I have touched it gently and she doesn't squeek but just lifts it closer to her body. It was hard to tell at first because she was running around like usual but then I noticed a slight limp. It doesn't seem to be worrying her too much. Should I see how it is in the morning and go to a vet if it's still swollen? Is there any basic first aid that I should give her? It seems to be swollen between the outer toe and the next toe. Here are some pics...







I have a video of her walking but am not sure how to post it...???

She might have banged it on something - my Hugo (RIP) had the same injury a long while back. Took him to the vets for some Metacam just to ease the pain and that did the trick while it healed. If it is broken there's nothing you can do about it but give pain relief.

For minor sprains and issues like that I just let it be and watch. The mild discomfort will remind her not to use it like normal and it will heal faster. She should be a lot better by tomorrrow
