Spurs?

Question

Right Foot
While clipping my guinea pigs nails I came across a yellow flab of skin that looked like another nail I did some research and I think it may be a spur. If you would look at these pictures and let me know that would be a great help. If you need more pictures I can gladly get you some this is on both of his feet.

Thanks

Answer
Hi michael,
thanks for the picture. It does look and sound a lot like spurs. You should check guinea pig lynx they have pictures of spurs and how to remove them. If this doesnt help feel free to say so and i'll help to the best of my abilities.
Hope this helps
