[Jack's-Jane]

The following video contains some useful information about Sore Hocks. Please note that any 'Home Treatments' (ie the chlorhexidine foot soaks referred to in the video) should only be attempted AFTER you have consulted a Vet

Great ideas in there, the memory foam mat idea is one I would not have thought of :thumb:

Thanks for posting, Jane. My dad had given me some of the memory foam mats which were great when my dog was ill. I didn't think of using them for sore hocks.

What would be best in an outdoor run? Are the foam mats you can buy for camping any good?

I would love some rex's one day, but have concrete in my runs.

Brilliant video did not know rabbits had pink bits on their feet! I would always check with my vet before attempting anything like this but it was really informative am now looking for memory foam and fleeces!:wave:

Any good places for fleeces and memory foam mats?

Great video, thanks Jane :wave: this is something that's worrying me, as Daisy will be living inside soon on carpet, and she is very prone to sore hocks need cheap memory foam!!!
