Hello
My bunny Benny (who some of you may remember had cancer earlier in the year-all ok so far) - started to walk a bit strangely last Wed 3rd Oct. So I had a look and saw two deep pink spots on his hocks, "ok" I thought, maybe beginning of podermatitis and I took him to vets. He's been given Betafuse which has betamethasone and fusidic acid as its active components.
I also took some of his own fur from grooming and made some felt and bandaged his hocks. He didn't try and take it off but he really didn't like walking in them. I also used unmedicated corn plasters to take the pressure off. Altho the hocks def look better, his walking is now awful- he's completely dragging them along the floor.
Is this how sore hocks normally is? It's hideous to see him like this.
Just to give you some background, they are free range house buns, with a regularly changed litter tray. They sleep on fleece blankets, he is not overweight and eats a majority timothy hay diet.
His legs still work, as when I have to put the cream on and let it dry they shudder a bit.
He hasn't had any falls either.
