Csacsi, a 9-year-old bunny, was originally an unwanted Easter rabbit who, at the beginning of his life, was only temporarily interesting during the holiday season.
Fortunately, at just a few months old, he found his way into a loving family, where he has been treated as a full-fledged family member ever since.
Recently, he has been moving less, and as a result, several cases of pododermatitis (sore hocks) developed on his paws. The wounds were red, inflamed, and sensitive, and they visibly affected his movement.
Since early November, his owner has been treating his paws with the PET Laser device, in continuous consultation with a veterinarian. Throughout the treatment, the wounds were kept sterile. The laser was applied daily to the affected areas, for 8 minutes per session per wound.
The photos clearly show how nicely the condition of the lesions has improved:
- the initial open, bright red, inflamed, and purulent wounds are visible;
- after a few days, a noticeable reduction in swelling and redness can be observed;
- followed by gradual closure and epithelialization of the surface;
- and by now, the paws show an almost completely closed, pinkish, dry surface.
Most importantly, Csacsi is moving much more comfortably and no longer avoids activity as he did before. It is a great relief that he could be helped in a pain-free way under home conditions.
