Preperation H
The hemorrhoid cream,
anything that is going to 'help' does it one of three ways, protects the foot (this would be vet wrap (Co-Ban) and padding)
Prevents infection, Antibiotics
Promotes healing, such as lotions, ointments etc.
So, what do you mean by Drugs cause if it works it's a drug, white petroleum jelly (Vaseline) is a DRUG, it has a NDC number, and in used as a skin protectant and laxative...<br /><br />__________ Mon Feb 21, 2011 3:29 pm __________<br /><br />OK, yer an ....
that wound is infected...
and now would be the time to use the basics of wound care
It's squishy, so squish it (find the head, open the abscess and DRAIN THE WOUND)
then use IODINE or a DILUTE peroxide/saline (salt and water)
To help it drain, you can soak the foot in warm Epsom salt.
Then you make sure the wound can't close, it has to heal from the bottom
keep it clean, in a clean WIRE bottom cage (and not hardware cloth, the wire should be bigger than 1/16 inch or .6mm
keeping it clean means wrapping it so the rabbit can pull it off
and you will need to wash it twice a day and reapply the antibiotic ointment, and the rabbit won't eat it BECAUSE YOU WILL KEEP THE FOOT WRAPPED...
Oh and it will always have a problem with sorehocks, sorry, if you don't want to do this, cull it now and save the poor thing misery.
