Yo Folks
I noticed Zac had a very small sore appear on one of his Hocks this morning. It doesn't appear to be worrying him at all and so far I've done the following but wondered if anyone had any additional thoughts that might help.
I've trimmed his nails - although they weren't over long - just in case one of them was causing him to be off balance.
As a House Bun he is on carpet but its soft and not abrasive - although I guess this might be contributing to the problem - if it proves so I'll have to rethink the bedroom carpet in his main den area? - both Buffs and Cagney are on a concrete floor downstairs with matting so I guess there is less chance of their nails sinking in and putting more pressure on the immediate back hock area? - both the girlies have never had any hock probs (touch wood)
I had some Fuciderm here which is a Veterinary Antiseptic cream which I've popped on the area but I've also read Germolene is good - any thoughts folks :?:
Its only a really small sore - less that the size of a small pimple (sorry folks for those eating breakfast :lol: ) - but I wanted to hit this soon so doesn't escalate into a bigger problem for him.
