I went into feed the buns this morning and Bud's hock was bleeding.
I check him regularly and feel guilty cos I mustn't have been looking hard enough cos I haven't noticed it before.
Anyway, there was a small amount of blood in one place in the hutch. I brought him in and bathed it with salt water (as the vet has told me to do previously with Stella) - Is there anything else I can do for him?
I started a new job today and was able to come home at dinner and check him and he was ok - I couldn't evn see where it was bleeding from.
Got back tonight and have checked again, I can see a small red lump which I presume is a 'sore hock'.
What do I do to make it better? And does anyone have ideas for bedding? They have their hutch in the outhouse and are free to roam all day -I have rubber matting on the floor of the outhouse cos its concrete - i thought it would be good for them.
Please help as I still havent got on top of Stella's feet either
