PREGNAT MINI REX DOE DIES

[SMALL S RABBITRY]

Ok I just walk in to the rabbit barn and checked on the rabbits mainly to check on my Opal doe that is due any day now and she is fine I looked over and our non-showable broken red doe was just laying there dead and it just about broke my heart she was bread to one of my castor bucks and was due in early Nov and I just don't know what happened and this will just hurt my boys really bad. If there is anything you can think of that might have happened please let me know she was 7 monthes old when I breed her........ Thanks Toby

Thanks for the help

Sorry to hear about your doe, I had something similar happen with a red mini rex doe. She was about 2 1/2 weeks along, healthy, happy, then suddenly gone. best wishes

Every now and then you get weird instant deaths from blood clots causing damage to the heart or brain. I know 2 people that walked out in the pasture to find their horse who was active and running about last night dead long enough to be stiff. No sign of any trauma or anything. Seizures could also lead to death but since it takes longer and usually has some warning it tends to be less of a mystery when that happens.

were sorry for your loss. Each one diminishes us. Had it happen a few times now--no rhyme or reason. Johnny Cash had a song that always comes to mind at times like this--"I don't like it but I guess things happen that way"
