Thank you... I'm looking for a replacement, I was already looking for some new SF genetics. And someone is wanting to trade a American blue doe, bred back to a american blue buck. I don't have any experience with this breed. Nor do I know anyone who does. If I got her I would be breeding her to...
No, she was bred back to a black silver fox buck. He is smaller than she was...
Sad news. She died last night, poor girl... I cut her open and the babies looked to be in normal order, one was a little bit bigger but not enough to cause problems.
She was squealing and grunting with her contractions a while ago. Now her legs are twitching again. Still no sign of a baby in the birth canal. But I can feel them in her stomach.
I have a 7 month old (blue) Silver fox doe. This is her first litter. She's a day late (32 days). She's normally very skittish and doesn't like to be touched. Today she's been rather slow, but I stayed away from her because I didn't want to stress her...
I just came into the house and sat down...
I spoke with a man whose been raising rabbits for 25+ years and he breeds his rabbits all year, it can get over 100f here in the summer... I haven't had problems breeding in the summer, I keep frozen water bottle in the cages and cement tiles as well. I have a lot more problems in the winter
People normally give does parsley when trying to get them to abort, its worth a shot if it helps your doe out... http://www.thebackwoodsharehouse.com/herbs--natural-methods.html is a rather good place to go for natural remedies
If she seems to have gone into labor but is having difficulty you can try giving her raspberry leaves, they help with contractions, if you don't have raspberry blackberry works fine too.
His do his legs look? Is it possible he experienced some sort of trauma like falling or some such? Does he have hair on the pads of his feet?
How old are they? If the doe went to long she could be to fat to conceive, especially eating fruit and treats in access
It sounds amazing that she survived, she is lucky you got her. Poor little thing. Damara was the rare sheep you were telling me about one time, right? That forages like a goat, if they're so rare why was he willing to let it die? He wanted to pick a fight that badly?... That sounds like a...
I haven't really seen any stool today, did we over do it with the antidiarrheal medications?. He's hungry and alert and acting normal. I've never heard of acidopholis before, we'll look for it when we go to down... we'll give him homemade yogurt at his next feeding, thank you.
Thank you for the PDF it looks helpful... how long should I give him pepto bismol? Until he's fully recovered?... Also, just checking; it's not normal to hear liquids sloshing around in his stomach several hours after feeding is it?
Thank you for all of this. He's doing much better today, running around and kicking up his heels. His temperature is also going down and he's eating readily on his own again (we cut his feedings in half so he's being pushy for more food.)...
I doubt he could have eaten enough grass to cause any...
I've given him the homemade stuff right now, and we'll have the stor bought stuff soon. But he doesn't want it, should we tube feed him the electrolytes and other stuff he won't eat? (We'll of course get some experienced help if we have to tube feed).
I don't think the goats milk would cause...
