Young Bun
Hi
I posted a thread in a different section regarding giving medication to a wriggly bunny, who is suffering from sore feet/hocks, it was suggested i post here regarding treatment help :wave:
she had this problem not too badly a couple of years ago and i managed to get them healed nicely after vet treatment and soft flooring, but we recently moved house and i picked her a really thick pile carpet for her room thinking it would be okay. I was wrong and now she has it again.
she has been back and forth to the vet for a good couple of months now and is currently on Antibiotics, Metacam and F10 Barrier ointment, although the vets have said it's definitely not the worst case they have seen, i hate to see her feet looking so red the F10 appears to be doing nothing, she is now on a bed of thick straw and hay with vet bed on top covered in soft fleece and she hasn't been on carpet since this all begun.
I have tried the bandage method that i have seen recommended, but she kicked those off within seconds the little monkey :roll:
I would be grateful for any tips from anyone who has got a bunny through this, i know it can take a long time for their hocks to heal but i'm hoping there's something more i can do to speed the process up
(Oh the sore part is actually under the foot flap of fur)
Thankyou x
