Feet are completely heeled! Chlorhex and socks worked a treat. Thank you everyone!

Haha! It is definitely a struggle. She grunts at me then kicks when I put her down, only turning back to give me evil looks. The E collar lasted a whole 15 minutes as she was head butting everything and her big dewlap (I assume that is normal, the vet wasn't concerned) made it an uncomfortably...

I can get chlorhex from work so I said I will get it this week, betadine will be fine until then, I've got plenty at home. She is eating, drinking, urinating and pooping fine. I have metacam, but hesitant to give it as she doesn't appear uncomfortable. She is back to her usual self. Just unhappy...

24 hours with socks on + betadine, the sores are drying up and looking much better already!

She is absolutely not tolerating the cone, she was head butting everything. I've taken it off and tried the socks, she is running around kicking her feet in the air and running away from me, occasionally stopping to give me dirty looks. The socks have lasted an hour so far, so fingers crossed...

My Vet told me to scrub and use chlorhexidine on her feet, leave a cone on and wait until it dries up. Then she should be okay, he wants to avoid antibiotics as much as possible, which i completely understand. I tried the cone on her this morning and she was VERY upset. I am a horrible mum :(...

So the vet is sure its MRSA. He said its not uncommon in that rabbit breed as they are generally bred for meat. I'm devastated. She has to wear a cone (e-collar) and I am to clean her feet with chlorhexidine daily until it clears up. She will always have the infection. :'( I feel like a...

She has chewed the scabs off now has raw red skin on her heels. Waiting for 2 hours until the vet opens to call and ask to come in ASAP. She's looking uncomfortable now and her ears are very warm. :( Thank you for your help. I'll have to find some cream to use. Poor baby :(

My bun Herman is a 7 month old Flemish x nz white female. She lives inside on various surfaces...she has run of the house. Carpet, lino, marble and wood floors. Two days ago noticed scabs on her heels. Ive trimmed her nails. Attempted to bandage but she kicked them off immediately! They don't...

My rabbit, Austin, died of calici on the operating table during desexing. He had the virus. I had no idea - got him vaccinated the day of surgery not knowing he was infected (he was 4 months old) but was too late he was already infected. It was hell the next few days waiting to see if my other...

Hermie :)

Omg lol Derby has tiger toy!!! So cute :D I would love Hermie to snuggle in my bed with me, she never stays and prefers to sleep near under the,bed or the door hmm!

She spent the night in the meatloaf position in her litter tray, was a bit worried...she was eating. Finally got some sleep, then today she was doing flops and hopping about. Wound site looks ok. She was under the anesthetic for a while and apparently lost a bit of.blood because she was in heat...

She survived!!! She is a bit drowsy but I am so happy. Thank you all for your support x
