Could I please ask you for some guidance/opinions please regarding a potential problem with Lillians hus-bun, Henry.
I noticed this evening as we were doing a minor claw trim, that Henry apperas to have the development of a sore on his left hind leg, at the ankle area. There's evidence of a bald area, small, and a red sore centre. My Bridge bun Georgina developed this, in teh same area and from what I could detrrmine, this was bumblefoot and she struggled with it for about 9 months before she went to the bridge.
Henry isn't presenting as struggling to hop/run/jump and he's still as active as he was when we got him. He isn't sitting in soiled areas and is predominantly a house rabbit along with Lillian, other than being out in the garden for free time.
Obviously the vet is my first call - earliest I can do this is wednesday. With Georgina, the vets didn't seem optimistic with the prognosis and I ended up treating and nursing the developing sore until she left us. Her foot ended up turning in almost 90 degrees with the condition.
Has anyone any views/thoughts on what this may be (bumblefoot is my first thought). He's a young bun and as far as I know, he isn't doing anything to bring on the onset of this condition ie not overweight etc. He's active, full of energy and zooms about and I've always kept the rabbits area clean.
Thanks
Craig
