So yesterday i was playing with AD and i realized his left hand was a hard had some hard stuff on it. It looks red n looks like a scab but I don't think it is. it feels rough and he did not show any pain when i was checking it. he seems ok and still runs and jumps around but i'm still really worry about it. I read many posts about bumble foot but never seen anything about hand. His feet looks fine n were not dry. I'll post pictures tonight and will take him to the vet tomorrow.
Bumble…hand?

Bumble foot is one of those things that scare me, when i get paid next im going to order a bumble pad off hammocky hammocks. Its good that your taking him to the vets i hope he gets on ok and hopefully its nothing 
Pictures really will help for the forum members, hope you can get them up soon. Members Claire D and Stackie are very knowlegeable on bumblefoot. Hopefully one of them will see this and be able to give you some advice.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
That looks more like an infected cut TBH. Is there anything on the bottom of the paw?
A vet appointment is a good idea - there is obvious swelling & probably some pus under that scab so the vet will probably want to prescribe some antibiotics. Without being able to see it in person it is difficult to be conclusive but, judging from the photo (& assuming there is nothing under the foot) TMZ would be a sensible option - I have successfully treated foot infections (from infected cuts, small abscesses, to bumblefoot) with TMZ. IMO Baytril is a bit too "big guns" for a small/mild foot infection.
