Favoring and tucking foot Urgent?

[Flapjack]

Hi all,

I got my girls nails trimmed on Friday last week and they cut multiple quicks, which i understand as Kure is a small bird, but I am worried about her behavior now. Last night and this morning she has been tucking one of her feet a lot more than normal, she did this immediately after the vet appointment but stopped shortly after so I am not sure why she started again. I have looked at both feet closely and I can’t find any cuts, swelling, or any other injuries. Could this still be from the nail trim? She still will put weight on it but is definitely favoring it. I lost a Guinea pig to bumble foot before and am paranoid this is the beginning of it. I am currently cleaning all of her perches to avoid infection just in case. Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Could her foot be swollen and I just can’t tell? The one she is tucking is the one on the right side of the picture (her left foot)

now that I am looking at it her foot might be swollen a a bit around the “ankle?” Could it be broken? She is still jumping around on things but as soon as she stops she tucks it.

Thanks a ton, I think it is alright though because she seems to be favoring it a lot less today. I think she either got a minor injury from playing or it was from the nail trim.
