I am leaning toward the problem being genetic. I have a buck that I bought last
year. I just noticed that one of his kits has the runs. The kit is fostered
to a castor doe and none of the other kits are affected. I keep pretty extensive
notes and looked back at his record. He has been bred to five does and four of
them have had kits affected. They are not as severe as what Blue Giants has
experienced but I have lost a couple of them. I never had this problem before
and don't have this problem with any other pairings. It makes me wonder......

As of tonight, both boys are doing well.:biggrin2: The little blue didn't need Critical Care or re-hydration today. He is eatting, drinking, peeing and pooping just fine.
And his butt is totally dry! He's still a little thin, but I think he's doing much better. The black boy is doing fine, no issues. I'm so happy at least two made it. Gave them huge amounts of hay tonight and lots of rolled oats. (Tequila got her slice of apple seperate.)
Tequila will be retired from breeding and I won't keep either of her boys for breeding.
None of the other litters around them have been affected. (Thank the good Lord!) I have to think that if it was bacteria/viral it would have been spread to others.
