Dear all, we really need your advice on this one. We have been living in Indonesia with our ten year old Lionhead rabbit, Luna. She got so far with next to zero care from a vet - just the kind input of vets and rabbit owners from abroad. The reason of that is that there are no rabbit savvy vet in the country. And now it seems like we need your advice once more. Lately we observed that Luna is limping a bit with her right leg. She is one of those Lionhead bunnies, whose feets bottoms are furred as well (pretty long fur, if I may add). As we turned her around today and examined her feet, it seemed that on one (only one) of her toes, the fur has separated in opposite directions and has knotted itself around her other toes. The fur seemed to have stretched the skin so much, that it has torn the skin, exposing the bone underneath. We have trimmed the fur, and knots, but left enough of the fur so it still covers up the tear. There is no blood. The torn spot is right under the toe and doesnt extend to the palm of the foot. I can see about 3/4 of a centimeter of white bone in length. Please see attached pic. Its not Lunas foot, just a pic I got from the net. The purple spot marks the position of the wound. We need your advice on this. What is the best way to treat such an injury? As I said earlier. There are no rabbit savvy vets or any other credible vets other than those who treat cattle and such in our area. Your input is very much appreciated!
