COULD IT BE WARTS?

Hi everyone, it's me again. First off I'm sorry that I can't give much help to others but ask so many myself :oops: but I have no one else to turn to but you other rabbit lovers/knowledgable people :T.
I have this worry that is bothering me about my little Bonnie.. I looked at her foot today and there was a big pink mark so I looked carefully and saw this pink blotch with some kind of a wart or scab of some kind right in the middle of it that I didn't see/or fail to see yesterday.. she also has a tiny one on her back. When I first saw the one on her back I thought maybe she nipped herself too hard. But the foot, it looks pretty bad- to me at least. I don't think it may be Bambi (my mini-lop, because they get along so well together :?: )Does anyone have any idea what it could be? Would it be serious? Please help me!

Hi Jenn

Awwww Little Bunsters - they are such a worry arn't they :wink:

You didn't mention if the pink area was on a Hock (rear foot) or one of your bunnies front feet.

If its the rear it might be that your bunnies foot has developed a hock sore which can be caused by a number of things but if it look sore and scabby then it should be checked out by a Vet who can prescribe some cream for you and at the same time your Vet can check the one on her back.

I would doubt that they are related - i.e warts but you never know - best pop Bonnie to the Vets for some advice.

Hope this helps.
 
I took one of my buns Harley to the Vets on Friday as she has got a wart on her side, he has reccommended I use tea tree oil or even a wart remover cream, He said that they could surgically remove it but to try the other options first.
 
oh nooo.. I have a feeling Bonnie is a tiny little piggy bank- I'm gonna have to keep pouring money into her :lol:

The scab was on her rear foot on the top of her foot. We don't have wired cages they run free in one section of our house with lino floors. :?:

*sigh* better get her checked out huh? She sure is an expensive lil gal :lol: :roll:
