Scalding of urine

[KCG]

I noticed this in the dot size when Cookie had his butt wet. Cookie no longer has butt wetness, but I noticed this blemish got bigger today. Do you think this is scalding urine?

By the way, I showed it to the vet when this blemish was as big as a blemish and she said it still doesn't matter and didn't give any treatment.

Looks like stained fur, need to check the skin underneath which I can’t see in the images

This is urine scald

That doesn't look like urine scald. Rabbit skin is normally quite pale (at least on a white rabbit). With urine scald it goes red and then angry / sore due to the constant contact with urine - a bit like nappy rash in human babies.

I was wondering if it could be the start of scalding urine. If not then what is this then blood?

What is "sore hock" ? There's a dog pad and a hay in the litter tray. Other than that, he's walking around in the normal house

I just looked what "sore hock" is, yes it looks the same. Is it my fault? I wonder if it's because of the wet butt he just experienced?

Nahh it's not the wet butt, it's friction, is he walking in carpet at all? That can often cause it

Yes, walks and lies on the carpet but the carpet is soft But I will ask something, until 1 week ago his feet and butt were getting wet with urine. That's when I first saw it, didn't exist before.

Carpet may be soft to us, but rabbit feet are not made for walking on it. Man-made fibres can be quite harsh on bunny feet - thin skin and soft fur don't stand up to the extra friction.
I would just keep a close eye on the sore patch on his foot. If it gets very flakey or bleeds, you need to seek further advice. Also check his nails - if they are not wearing down, they may need cutting so that he is using his feet properly. Longer nails can alter the weight distribution on the feet and contribute to pressure points like this.

I understand, and Cookie's nails are not long normal, his nails are cut all the time. How is it treated? I'm sure the vet didn't know that, I sent a picture and from what she said I can tell she didn't
