Hi
Just wanted to give an update on Molly's hocks and how Milly and Molly are both doing. Molly hasn't been to the vet or had any treatment on her hocks for 6 months now, and they are looking great. They are no longer red or dark pink, and her fur has started to cover and grow over it. I'm so happy with her. I seriously thought she wasn't going to live to see Christmas 09, how wrong I was. I think going to the vet and giving her antibiotics and drugs was stressing her out. She had poor coat condition, lost weight and was thin, and her hocks were cracking and bleeding. In the end, we thought, let's leave her alone, and see how she goes. It was the best thing we could have done. Since then, she's gained weight (she now weighs 2kg, which is the weight she should be), her coat is in fantastic condition, and she's so happy and really enjoying life. Both Milly and Molly went to the vets today for their myxi vaccs and the vet was very happy with her condition, and said they both looked fantastic. I'm very happy and proud. So really, what I'm saying to rabbit owners is that sometimes you do need a vet and you do need treatment, but if it isn't working, sometimes just leaving them alone for a week or so to see if it makes a difference can be the best thing you can do. Obviously, seek vet advice for any conditions first.
