Sore hocks (result!)

Use a quilt!!

I have a sore-hock (conti) temp bun here. He was drastically overweight & his feet were bleeding daily. He was bandaged/sudacremd (with metacam/baytril), on newspaper then rubber matting with thick hay on top.

After him losing a lot of weight - his hocks improved, but were still sore, & someone posted on here about using a quilt as padding. So I added that on top of the rubber matting & finally he has the all clear from the vet:love::love::love::love:

He's now binkying around the garden which is sooooo nice to see, cos I daren't let him when his hocks were sore in case they got hurt/wet

How temp;):lol::lol::lol:
 
Great news :D

Ive been using a quilt for my head tilt bun Mimi whilst she was immobilised and its really helped keep the sore hocks at bay :thumb:
 
I use a quilt. I find it better than vetbed as (a) it's less abrasive and (b) I use thin single quilts which I can throw in the washing machine. :D

Is he an indoor and outdoor bunny? One of mine has sore hocks but they are outdoors and I would worry that a quilt would soak through with all the rain at the moment.

Great news though!:D
 
I was a wreck when Charlie had sore hocks :oops: I did nothing but worry!

Glad the "temp" conti is all better :love:
