No, I'm not a member of their company:)
How old is he?
Are there any scabs on the bottom of his feet?
What type of food/treats do you feed?

It's hard to know. He may have Bumblefoot which is a staph infection of the foot, but since it's in both feet it could be Gout. If you have a vet that can see him, that would be best.

Watch to see that he is drinking well. Offer poultry vitamins in his water for a couple of days.
For the feet, they look inflamed, you can soak in epsom salts to see if that will help reduce swelling. If he has a scab or defined wound on the feet, then you can try treating with Tricide Neo or have your vet prescribe an antibiotic.
