My Redfoot, Luna, has a weird bump on her front left leg. The right side looks completely normal. Do you know what this is and should I be concerned? It doesn't seem to hurt her. Thanks!

There's no way for us to know. It might be a little sliver that made an abscess. It might be a little tumor. If it seems to bother her or if you're really worried, you should have a vet take a look at it.

If it were me, I'd take a trip to the vet for diagnosing. It may be nothing but I always like the peace of mind that comes along with knowledge.
