so what is it

Looks more like a tumor or a growth than bumble foot.

I myself haven’t seen anything like that before
I would worry about infection though

Does it feel like it has fluid in it? Doesn't look like any bumble I have seen.Makes me think of a blister.

thats what im thinking of blister cause bumber foot is on the bottom of foot not top. so maybe blister? its not a tumor cause it hasnt gotten any bigger so idk what it is.

shes eating,drinking, just has a limp.

so im also thinking maybe a small rat bite or over mating idk


also when we take the scab off it bleeds alittle

You've taken the scab off and it comes back? You didn't say if there is fluid inside. Soaking in warm Epsom salt can help heal. Just don't let her drink the water it is also a laxative

ya we take it off daily as a new scab forms and ya we give her that bath daily too.

and the scab is darkish like in the pic and bleeds a little but doesnt seem to bother her.

But it seems to be soild and only bleeds when we take the scab off.

But hasnt gotten any bigger so thats good in that regard.

When you take the scab off can you share a picture, Bumble can show up other places on the body legs included. It doesn't necessarily have to be on the bottom of the foot. It's staff which only takes a wound to get infected.
