I'd try get a photo but Thumper is very figity, I was lucky enough to get a close look at it though. I noticed at the back of one foot he had a small dark pink/light red mark on him. It's about 1cm in diameter and there isn't any fur on that area. He's a mini lop and in great health otherwise but I just happened to notice it as he was bouncing through the grass. They're usually kept on concrete slabs with hay on half of it.....but the hay gets cold/damp easily even thought the run is covered and no rain can get to it. It doesn't look badly sore, he isn't acting or moving any differently, I just wondered what I could do. My mind is saying to keep his foot padded and dry, e.g. on a dry cushioned surface like hay etc....but that seems to prove dificult....any ideas?
Can't afford any more till pay day in a few days though so for now they're only allowed on the matts and in their hutch...the rest of the run is temporarily blocked off as it's nasty cold concrete. I checked them all today, it's both of Thumpers feet, and a tiny amount on 2 other buns....Blossom seems to have gotten away with it luckily!
