What you are describing is called sorehocks. It is best to get the bunny to the vet. Most times antibioticsare needed in case of infection.

I know it's a little too late but you need to put something intheir cage for them to rest on. They sell resting pads or you can makeyour own using a sheet of wood cut down to fit part of the cage. Thiswill help take the pressure off of their feet and give those preciousfeet a break.

Could I use Wound-Kote?

Isnt that for horses? if it is it is petrolium based , I suppose youcould use it but triple antibiotic cream would be a betteridea ,something like bacitracin , or a generic equivalent ,.

I would alsosuggest that if your rabbits are still on the wire that I would put awood plank down of part of the cage, or something that the bunny couldsit off if his feet start hurting again

I read somewhere in a previous post that youcould place a peice of cardboard in . So that is what I did. Thanks forthe info! Hannah

Another cream to try would be Bio-Cane. It made by Tomlyn and is antibiotic, anti-itch, anti-pain and tastes bad.
