Hello,
Me and the vet are struggling to find out why bunny has got sore hocks from, as she is never allowed to sit in wet bedding, cleared regularly and apart from sore hocks is in great condition for an 8 year old.
The only thing I can think, is that being older the fur on her feet has thinned, exposing the skin more.
She doesn't seem to move around a lot either, mostly sitting, or lying during the day. Clearly more active at night, as it looks like party time in there lol.
Also currently on Metacam + Baytril to aid healing of the hocks, but wouldn't say it's making her more mobile as such.
The hutch us 7ft x 3ft so she has space to move around if she wants to, at least I can put her back in the run. This was connected via a corrugated pipe, but this was suspected as causing damage to the hocks so I'm working out a new plan for that in the meantime. The pipe has only been in for a few months.
Thanks.
