Sore points on Cinnamon's heels...

Hi All,

Last night as Cinnamon was racing away from me to have a drink I noticed a flash of pink on her 'heel' - on closer inspection it looks as though she has lost fur on the same place on both back feet leaving a little pink patch about half the size of a 5p.

Although she does run around on hard surfaces she also has plenty of access to soft surfaces - rugs / carpets / grass etc.

As far as Im aware this isn't normal - any suggestions of the cause? Cure?

Thanks all! Advice is much appreciated.

These are hock callouses and are the precursors for sore hocks, although not all go on to develop these. The causes are numerous and varied and the cure is prevention as there is no cure.

If you do a search in the 'health' section for sore hocks you will find lots of threads on this already. :):wave:
