Case Report: Use of HEALx Soother Plus in a Pododermatitis Case A rabbit was found in a dumpster in appalling condition. Its foot pads exhibited severe dermatitis due to poor hygiene and contact with feces and urine. Deep tissues and tendons had been affected, and the prognosis was very poor. The treatment was long and difficult, but without the help of HEALx the rabbit would likely have been euthanized. The rabbit was given enrofloxacin (10 mg/kg IM q24h) for the first 10 days and HEALx Sunshine Factor (0.3 ml PO q24h). HEALx Soother Plus Cream was administered topically to the wounds. After the first 2 weeks, the rabbit was given 10 more days of enrofloxacin (100 mg/L of drinking water) and the HEALx Sunshine Factor (0.3 ml PO every other day) until the wounds had healed. After treatment with Soother Plus and Sunshine Factor, the rabbit’s foot pads are now healed. The combination of HEALx Soother Plus cream and HEALx Sunshine Factor along with good cleaning practices has enabled us to achieve healing in extreme dermatologic cases such as this.
