Pretty sure we have a bumblefoot here.

Can anybody confirm for me please? He started with a limp yesterday, still eating, drinking and active, but obviosly in pain. He uses the foot for scratching but he hobbles on it. I looked yesterday and couldn't see a thing and then today looked again and saw something on the bottom of his foot, right at the hollow part.

Does this look like bumblefood to y'all? If not I have no idea what could be going on. He has no response to prodding anywhere else on his leg. He's only about 12 weeks old.

Sorry about the picture. Taken with a phone and obviously didn't focus on the right part.
