  Hi.
  
  I came back from holiday yesterday, and I’ve noticed my little bunny, Lori, was missing fur on the side of her front right paw – it was completely bald, and I could see raw pink skin…
  
  I immediately took her to the vet, who gently lifted her up – that’s when we saw all the sores on the bottom of her feet! (image below)

  The vet gave her few drops of invermectin (in case it’s a parasite), and then some baytril and metacam to give to her.
  
  We’re now washing her feet with some lightly salted warm water, then putting on a thin layer of sudocrem…
  
  What could this have been caused? The vet said it could just be that she caught her nail on something, then she kept licking it and made it worse, causing an infection…

  It kind of looks like sore hocks, which is a symptom a lot of different causes (too long of nails, wrong flooring, weight gain, ect). I do want to point out that her nails too look overgrown a bit, based on the picture. If it was caused by licking, it could be that she was stressed with you gone and stress licked until it cause sores.
