Pododermatitis (upala tabana)
Also known as: „Izranjeni tabani“
Pododermatitis, uobičajeno nazivan „izranjeni tabani“, ulcerozna je kožna bolest koja zahvaća donju stranu stražnjih šapa i skočnih zglobova kunića. Nastaje zbog kroničnog pritiska i trenja na kožu, koje pogoršavaju tvrd ili žičani pod, pretilost, neaktivnost, loša higijena i nedostatna debljina dlačnog jastuka. Lezije variraju od gubitka dlake i crvenila do dubokih čireva i apscesa, a u uznapredovalim slučajevima može biti zahvaćena i kost. Bolest je bolna i sklona ustrajavanju.
