Sore hock tips

This little fluff has got sore hocks again.
Any tips with how to speed up her recovery? The veterinary nurse I saw today when they did her jabs said they don’t look infected and just to keep them clean and put the prescribed cream on.
Problem is when she is happy and runs at full speed, she thumps her little feet as she goes, which doesn’t help them heal and to be honest might be why she got them as there is no urine staining or anything like that.
So any tips gratefully received!

What cream did the vet prescribe?

Carpet is quite abrasive and tends to make things worse. Can you cover the carpet with old sheets or duvet covers for a while, until they heal up?

Dermisol it’s called. It cleared them up before when she had them when we first rescued her.

That’s a good idea, she has soft fleece blankets all around her pen but when she’s out she is predominantly running on carpet. Hadn’t even thought of that, thanks [emoji4]
