Doe giving birth right now.

I assume you're breeding to show rabbits? I would get some show stock and retire that doe. Keep her as a pet and I wouldn't breed her again, especially to that same buck. Theres millions of rabbits out there get other brood does that have easier births.

Find a breeder and pay a stud fee to us a different buck. Anderson's right, if it doesn't work the third time, you should find new stock.

How long of a break should I give her before rebreeding?

And I would try but Blizzard is the only buck I have, unfortunately. :/

With the problems she had birthing she needs time to heal and recooperate. she may be feeling better but that does not mean she is healed. My grandmother told me that if I ever have a doe that produces fetal giants to give them 3 months rest and switch bucks even if I have to pay a breeding fee. she used to have over 200 rabbits at least 150 of those being does, so I trust her.

So I would give her 3 months rest to make sure she is completely healed and then find a breeder that has a smaller buck.

I was thinking along those lines and I'd like to do this with my 2 champagne does so I bring in new blood without having to buy and house yet another buck that I only want to use for one generation. If that breeding works you could keep a doe or 2 and try them with your buck so you can retire the current doe. With all her difficulties you probably don't want to spread her genetics far and wide with multiple litters.
