RABBIT COCCI EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!!!!

[NoFlyBackFarm]

The two are going to pass, I know they are. They are getting weaker. Do you have any instructions on how to perform a necrospy? Will it hurt them to treat with Corid if they don't have it?

I hope you have others in your Rex’s so you can still breed and recover from losses

No, the male I bred just came out of breeding age. We just started Rexes, Cocoa and Coffee were our first set. The male belongs to a friend who just stopped Rexes and moved on to Mini Hotots. He is like 6 years old. We were surprised that Coffee kitted her 7 kits at all. This is her first litter. (Before you ask, the 2 runts died before we switched feed of unknown causes for one and the other escaped the cage)

I am not sure I would imagine it’s just like chickens and just a good preventative and if they pass you’ll be looking for white spots on the liver I would wear gloves to be safe just because your not sure what it is and rabbits can carry a couple of diseases that can be passed to humans such as tularemia (through blood contact to open cuts or such). The white spots will look kind of like pimples on the liver.

Thank you! I hope that if they die, they do it peacefully. If it isn't Cocci or something else I know, I'd have to cull my 16 rabbits.

I hope so as well I will be looking for an update in the am wife is threatening to kick me out of bed if I don’t get off of here so I’m going to sleep I hope your kits survive and thrive is coffee ok at this time?

 

[NoFlyBackFarm]

Update-
The two kits are dead and Coffee+living kit are much better. Chris will be coming.
