Hi Joanna,

If bumblefoot is what you think Thistle has, I would not wait but would take him to the vet ASAP. Bumblefoot is an infection that eventually progresses to the tendons in the leg, into the bone, and possibly even to several organs like the kidneys, the liver, and spleen - if not treated it can be deadly. I'm not trying to scare you; it may not even be anything like what Thistle has. However, I would feel safer if a vet checked it out. Here is Guinea Lynx's page on bumblefoot (Ulcerative pododermatitis):

I hope this can help you. I'm sorry if I may have scared you unnecessarily.

We'll be thinking of Thistle and you. Wheeks and kisses,

Lauren, Piglet and Pooh
