Sore hocks, or ulcerative pododermatitis, refers to a condition where a rabbit's hind feet become irritated and develop sores due to living on a rough or dirty surface. While options A, B, and D may provide temporary relief, option C provides a comprehensive treatment plan to address the root cause of the issue and prevent further discomfort for the rabbit. Antibiotics and rest may only treat any secondary infections, while bathing in warm water and soap may not effectively clean and disinfect the affected areas. Isolation and increased calcium intake may help with healing, but do not address the main cause of the sores. Additionally, option C includes specific steps to properly clean and care for the rabbit's living space to prevent future issues.
