I’m not sure we ever get to be experts on these critters unless you have, like, 10 at a time like a few people on here.

It does sound like sore hocks to me. I don’t know if you can do this for a rabbit that doesn’t want to be held, but in the meantime I’d consider trying to bandage it with a bit of neosporin, but you have to bandage down to the toes or you could cause it to swell up. I don’t know that it’s an emergency, per se, if you can get in to the vet just sometime this week, but I imagine it is very painful for the rabbit.

I don’t really understand how they get this. Someone posted a good article on here one time, but I guess I didn’t save it. They talk about having memory foam covered with fleece in their pen, which I’ve been considering for my guy,as he’s a giant breed and I suspect more prone to this problem.

Sorry I’m not coming up with much. But if someone could get him to the vet to be looked at, again, I doubt it’s something you have to do TOMORROW, but in a reasonable period of time. I hope someone else responds…particularly if they can refer you to that site. But you could Google sore hocks, perhaps???

I don’t know too much about sore hocks, but I feel like it’s unlikely since the buns live in a carpeted area and have for years. Makes me think it could be something else, but I’m not sure what. Maybe he caught it/cut it on something? I would definitely call your vet Monday morning to run it past them and see what they think.

Where is the red spot? Sore hocks typically refer to the “heel” area on the foot (although they can get sores on other parts of their feet). Bunnies will often have a callus-like area on their heel, I don’t think it matters what kind of surface they spend time on either. Now if the callus got caught on something a tore off, then that could cause a bloody spot too.

And she let you sleep when she was bleeding to death?? I would’ve been a crying mess and EVERYONE would have known I was bleeding!!
That’s really funny…minus the injury
