Hi there,
My house rabbit has got a sore front paw - slightly bleeding on the bottom of one of his toes. My guess is that there was a prickle of some kind in his hay/forage and he's now over-grooming the sore area: it's been getting gradually worse over the last few days and he now won't put it down on the ground at all.
Any advice on bandaging a front paw? I tried to do vet wrap round the leg and then round his chest to hold the bandage on, but couldn't seem to get it right. He is 9 years old and very doddery and arthritic, so hasn't got very good balancing skills on three legs.
Any bandaging tips or other suggestions much appreciated. (He already takes metacam daily for arthritis so has pain relief, and he is cheerful in himself)
Thanks.
