Racers seem to be fairly susceptible to blisters; particularly if they are kept in damp or unclean conditions, or if there isn't enough ventilation. In it's simplest form, when caught early, this is an easy fix...keep the substrate clean and dry, and improve ventilation - and it should improve with sheds. The problem is that these blisters can also be symptom of systemic infection; and a wait & watch approach in that case will often result in a dead racer (once the infection becomes advanced, treatment efforts are too little, too late). If you don't know the difference, your best bet is to seek veterinary care
