Fluffball's Possible Pregnancy Diary

[BlueGiants]

Awww.. I'm sorry you lost the one baby... poor Frederick. I hope Fluffball comes through this OK.

Forum is so slow today, having trouble posting!

 

[irishbunny]

Oh wow this is a shock!

The outcome doesn't look good though

RIP little Freddy

 

[Becca]

If mum agrees would she be able to come inside? In the conservatory (the same temp roughly as the shed)

 

[Becca]

It's hard to tell how she's doing in the dark...

 

[irishbunny]

I thnk it would just stress her out even more Becca,

Is there a chance that some will be alive?

 

[Becca]

I don't know, I don't know if she even is still pregnant...

 

[Becca]

If she isn't all this is such a waste, putting her through this.. me getting excited about babies if there are no babies.

 

[Flashy]

I personally don't believe there is a chance of having live kits, but that doesn't mean there are not any left (and this is my main concern from what Becca told me on the phone). Normally when a doe is done with kindling she will just carry one as normal (in my experience), but Fluffball wasn't, which is a large concern. It could just be it was a hard labour, and she needs time to recover, but equally, there could be something more severe going on.

At this point I would be more inclined to bring her in because she may be more at risk now than she was a few days ago. That's just my gut feeling though, and not necessarily what an experienced breeder would do.

My guess would be she is, since she only had one kit. Good luck Becca and Fluffball!

 

[Becca]

Well I did think that it was unusual for her to only have 1....

Now you understand why we were so passionate about you not doing it: Saves you the heartbreak, and save Fluffball the pain:rose:

 

[Flashy]

It's not that unusual to only have one, especially with the way you bred her, so this could be it.

 

[Becca]

What does inclined mean? :?

 

[Flashy]

In this instance, I meant I would lean towards doing that.

 

[MissBinky]

Edited cause a post appeared, than Flashy thought she lost it but she didn't, so I pasted, but then she realized she didn't lose it so she deleted her messaage, so then I looked like I escaped the asylum and was talking to myself about a post that really didn't disappear at all, nor was it's existence being questionned anymore... I should shut up now right?

:embarrassed:

Thanks I found it after so made the reply into something else, lol. It's making my head hurt, these forum spasms, that's for sure.

Really..... What about her nest? Do I just try and pick it up as best I can and put it into Benjamin's cage then Benjamin will have to move into Fluffball's :?

 

[Flashy]

Is there no way you can take her cage inside? I wouldn't put her in somebunny elses territory when he has just vacated it (I have hutches inside that are used in instances like this, so didn't think about logisitics for others, sorry). If you do move her, take the whole nest with her.

 

[Becca]

We're taking her to the vet now, we think it's best.

 

[Flashy]

I think that's the right decision
