Hello, my bunny Lavender has been suffering a bit lately with sore hocks. They've been a bit pink, and I've put fluffy blankets on the carpet in the hope that this helps - they'd been looking a lot better. Until today. :shock:
I found spots of blood on the carpet, and her blankets - its from one of her hocks. I've cleaned it and also put some sudacrem on but I know that this isn't thought to be the best treatment cos its mats the fur (there is no fur to mat at the moment so I didn't think I had much to lose just for this evening). I've put clean blankets down too so everythings is super soft and clean, plus I can tell if it bleeds again.
Its not bothering her in the slightest, but obviously I don't want it to get infected. I'd feel happier if I can get her to the vets but I won't be able to do that tomorrow, I've got a day off later in the week so hopefully it can wait til then. If it bleeds again I think I might just have to find a way to take her anyhow.
Any advice on what I can do in the meantime? I've read on here before (but can't find the posts now) that some people use a sort of 'paint on skin' that is usually for humans. What is it? Can I just buy it from the chemist?
cheers
