Hi....i have naughty chewer bunnies too. our girl developed sore hocks last year and then urine scald from a nasty bladder infection. she was a mess. she has got her fur grown back apart from a sore red patch in the middle of her right foot and a sore parch on her actual heel of the left foot. nothing is getting rid of that but everything else healed eventually.
i bathe her feet with diluted hibiscrub dry them then use a gel that acts like a bandage on the actual sore,
the vets were stunned!!! i had also used a cream from vets and vetuk online called Dermisol...it eats necrotic tissue...great stuff on bunnies with healing wounds. But the stuff helping her the most is a herbal menthol smelling gel....dermagel.

it is a non prescription item.....can buy online in the uk....but vets dont think much of it or stock it. they think its quack medicine!!!! its amazing....i was just about to give some to lola like i had the night before but did not as she was bleeding out of bladder/vagina/rectal...vet didnt know...but also suspicious she was never spayed even though the people who gave her up told the rescue she was.
i have had to keep lola and her hubby in their ferplast cage and put down vet bedding and fleece beds...change it daily and litter tray change maybe 2-3 times a day....then once a day.
she also walks kind of funny always has...vets said she has spondylosis.
i have been using petfleece non slip version....and vet fleece with no slip back. Lola shreds every bed and puppy pads shredded in seconds!!! they had pet steps to get in and out their cage so now cannot have it back.
i will be setting up a big metal pieced pet run and lots of blankets/pet fleece/fleece beds made by a friend. everything gets chewed to bits...she has not found something yet she has not destroyed!!!!
i will then pick them up to use their cage as a bedroom. her gait is like her hips and thighs are too far apart. And that has caused the sore foot along with getting a dried sticky poop smear that i have to clean off....and dumb vet shaved one off down to bald skin and it has never healed...nurses were horrified at him!!!
As long as the sores do not become raw or bleed ....i put lola on cage rest with her hubby to let her feet heal and the horrific urine scald. we have non shiny vinyll flooring due to my daughter having a wheelchair. But no bunnies have had an issue as its not shiny...saying that there are very old slippery floor tiles in the hall and my old bunny used to run up and down like it was carpet!!!!
i will be buying lots of pet fleece pieces for the run...being a free range house bun we miss them getting up with us etc but what else can you do?
heres the uk shop..

they have an ebay shop but i do not know international suppliers..id suggest searching ebay. lola is a chewer but touch wood the backing is intact!
