Bumblefoot guinea? Is this bumblefoot???

Found this one limping and not eating last night. Notice the black scab between the front toe and foot pad. The foot is swollen. If it is bumblefoot, how do I treat it?

Pick the scab off, squeeze out any gunk, clean it up the best you can, pack it with neosporin and wrap it with a bandage. Repeat the cleaning and bandaging daily until you see improvement. Keep him on a clean surface if you can. Do not use peroxide to clean it. Use saline solution, soapy warm water or something else that won't kill tissue.

I disinfected the foot with a surgical scrub and then picked the scab off with a pin. Squeezed nothing came out. Wrapped in old gauze and vet wrap.

Good job. Check it daily for improvement. Clean it out again if necessary.
