I think one looks a bit better maybe? But the other one might be worse 
I've just been putting sudocrem on it coz stuff still hasn't arrived. But I'm a bit worried about how much sudocrem she's probably ingesting.. I know you said a little won't hurt, but could a lot? [emoji51] Problem with Clementine is she grooms things to death. She made her neck bald before when emeprid got on it, I'm actually wondering if applying stuff is making her groom more.. Idk! Do you think I should be worried about her ingesting a fair amount of sudocrem?

Try just Meloxicam daily. It could be that she has arthritis now due to the orthopaedic surgery she had. So she is not weight bearing evenly.
If you continue with the Sudocrem, then just use the smallest amount and gently rub it in. She would have to ingest a vast amount for it to cause serious harm.
Have you tried Derbeymed SCP Spray ?

I would ask William about using it. I never have, so I don’t feel able to advise. I would be interested to hear what he thinks

That spray just looks like a disinfectant - there's no cream or anything in it. It's essentially a bleach and saline.
Yea the original one, derbymed SCP spray isn't a cream, it's an antiseptic wound spray, was just comparing the two

If he's in yea [emoji51] he's the one that suggested prep h. But yea thanks, I've emailed about the SCP spray hopefully we get it soon [emoji51]I would ask William about using it. I never have, so I don’t feel able to advise. I would be interested to hear what he thinks

I’d avoid the Prep H that contains Hydrocortisone. I think it’s called Prep H Hydrocortisone x
Ah! I've seen some people online saying fusidic acid which I think is that too? Is good for them! I have some here but haven't used it. There's so much conflicting advice [emoji38] I'm hoping the spray arrives in the next day or so, gunna start there x

The one you linked on Amazon is totally different to the Derbymed SCP spray. Derbymed is more a spray on soothing / healing lotion, looking at the ingredients.The Amazon one is purely a liquid disinfectant / antiseptic spray - so you might as well use Hibiscrub instead of that one.
Hydrocortisone thins the skin with prolonged use - not what you need on sore hocks.

Yea it's just what amazon suggested [emoji38] and I was looking at the differences.
Ah that's interesting! I wonder why my vet suggested it then, he said he's seen a lot of success with it used on sore hocks

Yea it was for Evelyn when she was super little, I think that's what I saw people saying they've used on hocks, I'm wondering if using in short term as it heals stuff fast but not long term as it thins is why William said about prep h! And why people have suggested it for hocks. I'm just wondering, not going to try it [emoji38] I'm not that adventurous when it comes to the buns, far too cautious [emoji38]

Skin thinning is unlikely to be a problem over a few weeks (different for prolonged use): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34233978/ ETA OK I know it's kids not rabbits but cautious use would be much the same I expect.

With Rabbits it’s not just the skin thinning, but the ingestion of a corticosteroid that is a risk.
