Hi, here's Bernie, she's 9 months old lop was an outdoor rabbit since 3 months until about 10 days ago when I got her. She comes from a very nice family with 3 girls that have no more time for her unfortunately so their mother decided to re-home her. She had her vaccination for myxomatosis some weeks ago when it was cold, she's a gorgeous and very healthy looking girl, very placid, just doesn't like me to enter her cage but otherwise likes me and let me hold her and brush her coat.
Yesterday I discovered a small spot on her side that looks like I am not too sure how vaccination looks like or maybe it was an insect or something, there's bold spot around it and it looks like dry and no irritation signs around it, could it be just where she had her shot or should I start panicking?
Now that she lets me touch her everywhere I've inspected her carefully and found that she also has some kind of irritation on her feet well she was outdoor in her hutch all the time I think she had it before she came to live with me, now she's indoor all the time and very clean cage and all, the only she is digging her litter box lately and covers her cage with hay and wood pellets from it, maybe it was like in her hutch I have no idea, I clean her cage and checking if there's wet spot I remove it, I will have to think how to rearrange her toilet, but generally all the floor is now covered with hay and wood pellets underneath.
My question would be, is there anything I could get from pharmacy to treat the irritation spots on her feet? Or maybe use some natural remedies I thought of chamomile compress but I don't know how to use it, maybe something like baby nappy cream with rosemary would work? It doesn't look that much serious to be honest I don't want to go to vets with it, would you suggest some easy treatment please?
I will try to attach some photo as well.
