What condition is characterized by scabby, open sores on the bottom of a rabbit's hocks or paws?

Mange
Sore hocks
Fleas
Wet tail

The correct answer is: Sore hocks

Sore hocks, also known as pododermatitis, is a condition that is commonly seen in rabbits who spend a lot of time on hard surfaces. This leads to inflammation and sores on the bottom of their hocks or paws. Mange, usually caused by parasitic mites, is characterized by intense itching and hair loss but does not specifically affect the bottom of a rabbit's hocks or paws. Fleas can also cause itching and skin irritation, but not typically in the same location as sore hocks. Wet tail, also known as Tyzzer's disease, is a bacterial infection in rabbits that primarily affects their digestive system and can cause diarrhea, dehydration, and lethargy. This condition does not present as scabby, open sores on the bottom of a rabbit's hocks or paws.
