Answer
Dear Lisa,

Bumblefoot is a descriptive term, usually applied to birds, that describes an infection of the foot.  But yes, your bunny definitely needs to be seen by an experienced rabbit vet:

An abscessed foot is nothing to be taken lightly.  If it's due to sore hocks, please see:

for information on padding and dressing until you can get him to the vet.

I hope he will be okay.
