Wise Old Thumper
I noticed them yesterday and had a proper look today. They're about a cm in circumference. One is pink and pretty benign looking, the other is a little redder so I put some sudocrem on that one...but then read on here that might make it worse??? :shock: I hope not! Theres no bleeding or open wounds on either.
Do these sound like normal callouses or the beginnings of sore hocks?
Ive trimmed her nails, although they werent particularly long anyway. In her bed (a draw under my bed) she has a duvet, covered with 2 towels, covered with my OH's old fleecy dressing gown which in turn is covered with a fleece blanket, so its very soft! The only difference in recent months is that she has gone from carpeted floors to wooden floors, could this have caused it do you think?
Timmy and Maxs feet are both fine, no signs of callouses atall. They are both far more mobile than Mimi who is a little lazy since her head tilt bless her She is also the largest of them all, although not overweight, so I guess that all contributes.
So any advise on what to do (if anything) to prevent them becoming sore hocks is greatly appreciated as Ive never had to deal with it before :wave:
