WHEN I WAS CHECKING GISMO OVER TODAY I NOTICED THAT HE HAD (oops caps lock) a tiny round pink spot on the "heel" end of his back foot. It is pale pink, doesn't look sore and is dry and clean. Only tiny - half a centimeter? Is this a "sore hock"?? Sorry, feeling a bit dense :?

Piper has got the same thing - I assume it is a sore hock so am keeping a close eye on it. Doesn't actually look sore though.

It could be mosquito bite if it is embossed above the skin surface. But I don't think it's mosquito bite.
They are most likely caused by rubbing/ impacting hard surface, such as hard wood floor, thru out the mth. or years. So you want to use Aloe Vera Gel or anything you can find to make the healing of that spot, if there are mated fur near that area, cut them all off.
As soon as the new fur grows back, it will cover that spot and protects it.
