I need a bit of advice, I know some people on here have rexes prone to sore feet so Im sure someone here will have tips.
I checked Buzzby over this evening and he's had a bit of poo stuck in his tail and found the only bit of mud where the flower bed escaped onto the patio where he lives so had grubby feet. I wiped off the mud and have teased the poo bit out of his tail, but on closer inspection found a bit of sore on his left back foot near the heel. Its red and bald, but not open wound or anything. Most of his foot is a mass of fluff, just this little bit of sore bald on there. Ive made sure he's clean with wipes and put him in his hutch but covered the floor thats normally just wood with megazorb so its softer, not that he sits there often.
So, Im not sure why he has a sore bit, could it be from being out on wet patio? What do I need to do to make sure it gets better, not worse? Should I stop him going on the patio til it heals?
