Please Note - Medical Advice
Please keep in mind that posts on this forum are from members of the public sharing personal opinions. It is not a replacement for qualified medical advice from a veterinarian. 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. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.
We are very grateful to members who take time to answer other members questions, but please do be clear in your replies that you are sharing personal experience and not giving instructions on what must be done.
Urgent Medical Advice: If you need, or think you might need, urgent medical advice you should contact a vet. If it is out of working hours phone your vet's normal number and there should be an answer phone message with instructions on what to do.

Thank you fir replying!
I am very concern about two nail beds growing skin. I already did all possible labs and even biopsy, but the veterinarian still doesn’t know what is the cause.
I do not know how long I have to go and pay fir my appointments if anyway veterinarian is clueless. I saw some YouTube video very similar to my problem, but not In English, unfortunately. It named: “ A rabbit has a toe nail bed inflammation”. May be someone able to translate that video which might has the response fir my problem.Jack's-Jane

My veterinarian told me that she has specialty in exotic pets: birds, rabbits, turtles, guinea pigs and so on.

It appears that in the video the Vet suspected the Rabbit had fractured a toe or toes. Pain was causing the Rabbit to chew at the nail beds setting off infection. The Vet wanted to Xray the Rabbit's foot and then I assume if a fracture was confirmed that would be treated. Pain relief would then be given daily alongside antibiotics. The choice of antibiotic to give would be based on microscopy, culture and sensitivity testing
