I lost my job, and my rabbits haven't been getting a proper diet. I've been trying to re-home them, and today there is a girl coming by to look at them. Note, because of no income they haven't had soft bedding, just towels and he's a Mini Rex without much fur on his hind feet. I think I read something about this a long time ago.
I think it's from him sitting on the hard surface. I haven't handled him in about two months, out of guilt, so I haven't noticed. I put some anti-botic ointment on it, cleaned out some pus and cleaned it up with peroxide. I handled them, poked them, washed them and he didn't show any signs of pain and he's really friendly. They're red, and raw looking. There is no fur and one has scabs.
I feel awful, like one of those people who neglect their animals on t.v. I sent her an e-mail explaining what happened, and that I would keep him here and treat him until his feet are fine again.
But I don't know. I can't believe this. What if they do hurt and he just wasn't letting me know? What if it's really bad? The other rabbit doesn't have any sore hocks, but he has a ton of fur and padding.
God, someone shoot me. I can't even express how I feel.
