I have been breeding and raising Holland Lop rabbits for 8+ years and have never experienced anything like this.
My prized Holland Lop brood doe, Dusty had three healthy kits at 7 AM. I palpated her (as I always do) afterwards to make sure there were no "leftovers" and unfortuneatly there were. I decided to give her more time.
One hour later, no more babies, two hours, nothing. Four hours go by and I'm getting really nervous. I made a call to our exoctic animal vet who was concerned and though I should bring her in.
Poor Dusty's only chance is to have an emergency C-Section. I hope she pulls through this and will be able to successfully care for her three remaining kits. I am so devastated by this and I am now for the first time really worried about raising any more rabbits. I just don't think I can do this anymore.
I am now waiting anxiously by the phone waiting for the vet to call.
