Ahhh Gayle, hope he is feeling better, it is just awful when our little babies are ill or injured.
My Harvey had something wrong with his foot in the summer, he was lick lick lick at it, i at first thought he had cut it, and he does come running straight to me if he is hurt or someone shouts at him etc - so mummy can make it all better

Anyway..... after checking all over i could not see anything, so a bathed it in salt water, and after a while he left it alone, we decided either he had twisted a nail, stood on something sharp, or been stung.
Hope little Rowdy is ok.
