No it's not red hot or sore, just a little purplish, looks slightly under the skin, aha I got that impression from the vets I just rang, went a bit quiet as soon as I mentioned ferrets, said I could bring it in, but not sure how they would help!! Any suggestions on vets in the midlands?
Thanks for the reply!
