Emily our big beautiful conti has developed very sore hocks We think this is partially due to not being very good on her back legs, as she used to live in a hutch before she came to us.
Her hocks have always been a little sore every now again, so she's had sudocrem on them often. However, this morning when I get up they were very red & inflamed - the worst I'd seen them She also didn't seem quite right in herself, wouldn't touch her breakfast & was shivering :? I took her to the vets & Jane thinks she might have an infection, but couldn't take Emily's temperature as she was so stressed - she's a real stress bun She's now on baytril & metacam for the next week, as well as using sudocrem on them - we're back at the vets Monday if there is no improvement.
She still won't touch her pellets or veg, but thankfully has been munching hay like mad.
I just wondered if anyone had got any advice or tips to help Emily - as I want to avoid them getting any worse & improve them as much as I can.
