After we got Amber, and found her to be in very bad health; including sore hocks and very long nails. She is now the healthiest we can expect her to be! We got her some cream for her sore hocks and they're healing very well. She'll go back to the vets in a month or two to see if she needs anti-biotics, and another nail clipping! In addition to this, we redid her room before she had her babies, so everything is soft with blanketting and duvets. So her sores didn't get any worse. The only time she is on the carpet is in the lounge. But she is a very happy bunny now :3 :wave:

Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about.
