Hello! I’m sorry for yet another “callus or sore hock” post; I know y’all see a lot of those—but I’m so worried about my bun and I had to check! I’m gonna take her to the vet this weekend, but I’d really appreciate your feedback before I go!
I just noticed this naked patch of skin on the side of my bun (Leila’s) foot. I’ve never heard of a callus or sore on the SIDE of a foot, but maybe it’s more common than I know? I haven’t gotten the chance to check Leila’s other foot to see whether there’s a parallel mark (she’s been understandably skittish today after I stole her away for a nail trim). Thoughts?




P.S. She’s a shelter bunny, but she appears to be an English spot. I haven’t had her weight checked in a while, so I’m not sure whether she’s overweight (I hope not!). I hadn’t trimmed her nails in literal months before today because I didn’t realize how often it was required, and Leila hates to be handled like that. I’m sorry, Leila-bun!!). She’s a free-roaming house bunny who sometimes does zoomies on the carpet—that’s the only surface available in the apartment, and unfortunately it’s all low pile, landlord-grade carpet (as seen in the photos). I hope it’s not too abrasive for her feet!!
