Pic 1=leg shot. Pic 2=leg with bump, not burst. Pic 3=bump that has burst. As I said, she doesn't seem bothered by the condition of her legs, she moves freely, runs without any problems. I've cleaned it with an anticeptic wipe because that's all I had. I'm just concerned about infection getting in or the others pecking at it. It seems to be healing on its own, just want reassurance I'm doing the right thing.
