If the front legs are unstable, you should check your feet for skin damage, that is, inflammation and suppuration, considering the usual feeding methods of your rabbits. If you are locked in a cage, it is easy to get foot dermatitis. Unlike cats and dogs, rabbits have no meat pads on their soles. Long-term contact of the soles of the feet with the ground or the bottom of the wire cage will cause local inflammatory swelling, congestion, depilation, skin damage, and then bacterial infection, causing suppuration. The incidence of the disease increases with the increase of age and weight. Clinically it can be divided into three types. ① Foot pad type: local inflammation and swelling of the skin, skin thickening, hair removal, forming a thick pad, and pain and anxiety when touching. ② Ulcer type: at the initial stage of the disease, the affected part is congested, swollen, depilated, bleeding after ulceration, festering after local infection, forming a long-term unhealed hemorrhagic ulcer surface and cracked scab. Sick rabbits are depressed, their appetite drops, and their limbs dare not touch the ground. They often touch the pedals carefully. (3) Scar type: The plantar is mechanically injured, and after self-healing or healing, a permanent scar is formed at the injured part, with no obvious clinical symptoms. To prevent foot dermatitis, we should focus on improving the environment and controlling the weight of rabbits. Remember, "prevention" of foot dermatitis is more important than "treatment". Treatment reference drugs: povidone iodine solution (diluted smear), cefradine (diluted smear), German gimborn small animal skin fluid, and phytohormone recovery fluid.
If the above conditions are not met, it is necessary to consider whether there are falls or other injuries. It is suggested to describe the symptoms in detail, or consult the rabbit, where there is a rabbit doctor.
