'sigh'
My lovely Lotte, my youngest doe aged just 1 died last sunday due to blockage, I noticed something was off Saturday noon when she refused her oats. Symptoms were quite different to stasis episodes I've had with other rabbits.
Since nothing I tried showed any improvement I got her to a vet clinic on sunday (no own car, not cheap) , but there wasn't anything to be done to safe her, we tried surgery but the intestines were broken and, well, that was it.
Anyway. she left me a litter of 11 ten days old kits. They had just opened their eyes.
Good thing is, I had several cans of condensed goat milk on stock, thanks to my sister who brought that over from the US, Walmart, can't find it localy.
After almost a week, all 11 kits are thriving, I'm tired, and my respect for any mother of whatever species grew immensly.
I can't even express how cute those kits are, if there is an official definition of Total Bliss it's those kits nursing, attacking the syringe like there is no tomorrow. You just can't imagine the level of cuteness, each has it's unique style .
Me, I'm so tired, I drink too much waiting for their next feeding (3 times a day), and that was when they pulled me on stage for my 10 year anniversary at the company, after me detoriating to neanderthal levels for several days..
Well, life goes on.
