and make sure the holes go over the sore part of the hocks.



Thick Adhesive padding from Boots, went over the hocks with a hole cut out.


Then medical tape to keep the pads on. ( just to hold it in place-not to tight else it can stop the circulation)


Self adhesive horse bandage to wrap round the feet. ( Co-Flex and you can buy it in all different colours and designs)


This is Angel our blind Bridge bunny with the adhesive padding on and the holes cut in over the hocks.
Sadly his sore hocks were due to Osteomyelitis in his bones, his leg bones were just crumbling he had
no bone mass and we had to have him pts

I don't believe in trancing but even if I did Flo does not believe in it. I have also changed her onto 10cm vetwrap this evening which will hopefully cover the area required in 1 layer this giving her better movement, requires less wrapping therefore less struggle. She is currently holding one leg up of the floor so she obviously in some discomfort there. I will need to buy some padding tomorrow also.
