Poorly rabbit. Needs some answers!

[Jessiica]

i can just assure you, that i have my rabbits health in best intrests, and i will be taking them to see someone, as i am still very young my self i do have alot to learn still, but as i have gone into breeding with my boyfriends dad, he has been breeding for many years, but hasnt come across this before.

Just one last question?
Would it be a good idea to destroy the cage they are living in now?

Jessiica. :?:

Hey Jess,

I'm not clued up on these things at all but think that you shouldn't let some ppls opinions stop you from posting on here for advice and stuff!!

You seem genuine to me and that you care for your bunnies, what more can anyone ask for?

I hope they get on ok at the vets and let us know how it goes xx

Hey Jess

Not sure what to say about the cage, you could disinfect it, but to be fair, we dont know if it is infectious yet, do we? It may be a hereditry problem which would have no affect on the cage..... I would avoid putting any rabbits in it for now until you know what it is though, and disinfect it while it is empty to prevent anything becoming air-born.

How many buns do you have?

Good luck

i Have 6 does and 2 buck's i do have all the papers for all of them.
i do take into consideration about peoples views.
i just would like some answers so that i can make the bunnies better.
we have never had any adult bunnies have this problem, we have had too small litters have this problem for completely diffrent parents.

Two litters?

Can you give me info on how old they were when they started getting ill and dying and how many maybe?

Im not judging you, just ask me the question and I will use my brain for you, lol!

they are between 6-8 weeks.
they go down hill so quickly within about 3-4 days. one minute they will be hopping around, the next they will be lifeless.
They are still all eating and drinking. so surely they cant be in pain?
they go one by one.
i have wanted to come on here before. but scared of being judged.!

I suspect you have Coccidiosis on site

I would get the sick babies to a Vet tomorrow as they will require treatment if you are to stand any chance of saving them.

*If* it is coccidiosis then I would destroy the hutch. The only disinfectant that will kill Coccidia spores is Jeyes Fluid which of course needs to be used with extreme caution on Rabbit accomodation.

Please DO NOT mate up any more Rabbits until you have the disease outbreak identified.

Ok, thank you for all your help,

I will be taking good care of the bunnies.

Thanks again.

Jessiica.
