Just got home from work and Neville appeared fine, had his pellets from my lap and hopped into his tray to munch on hay and herbs.
I went to pet him later on in the hallway and he was incredibly jumpy and seemed to panic. It's then that I noticed a mark on the base of his back foot.
He went and hid in his bed and I've coaxed him out with pellets to get a better look. It definitely looks like blood, right on his heel. I can't see the skin to see how bad it is but it's dry and he doesn't seem to be limping. He's very anti being picked up so I'm not confident to try and examine him, I'm also home alone as oh is away, so no one to restrain.
There's no blood in the house or on his fleece in his pen.
Nothing that could really cut him either, the only thing I can think of is the peddle on our bin broke recently and there is a little bit of sharpish metal there. No blood there though.
Would you book a vets appointment? I'm worried about the stress on him but I kind of want it examined.
Keeping his trays very clean. Should I restrict his space to keep him from irritating it?
