How to Prevent and Treat Sore Hocks in Rabbits
Rabbit sore hocks are caused by mite infection, wire-floor abrasions, or a dirty, damp environment — all letting Staphylococcus in. Prevent with clean, dry housing (0.3% peracetic acid spray), bamboo cage floors with ~1.2 cm gaps, and regular Staphylococcus vaccination. Treat mites with miticide plus anti-inflammation, and disinfect wounds with iodine and erythromycin ointment.
Why a Rabbit’s Eyes Get Inflamed and Pus-Filled, and How to Treat
Inflamed, pus-filled rabbit eyes usually come from a poor diet (too salty or dry 'heating' feed), eye irritants like dust or stray fur, or uncleared daily discharge that breeds bacteria. Treat by switching to carrots, apples, and greens, removing any foreign object and trimming surrounding fur, and wiping the eyes daily; see a vet if pus is severe.
What to Do When a Rabbit Sheds Excessively
Heavy shedding has several causes. Seasonal molts (March–April, September–October) are normal — just groom daily. Diet lacking fiber or vitamins A/B causes shedding and fur-eating, fixed by balancing the feed. Fungal or parasitic infection brings dandruff and ring bald spots and needs a vet; bacterial dermatitis (Necrobacillus, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas) needs the right antibiotic. Identify the cause before medicating.

Consistent prevention is far cheaper than treating outbreaks.
