Well, Steph and I were intending taking a week off, and having a very restfull week, but this morning things didn't go according to plan, Hollywood gave birth over night to 10 kits, but she never bothered building a nest, so they all died!, and then when I went to check DS, she was not in a good state. We've brought her up to a compound near the house so we can keep a closer eye on her, and we've put 6ml of Intracillin and 200ml (over 6 hours) of Calpro (vitamins and glucose etc). Her temperature is pretty high, but it did drop over the last 2 hours (down to 40.6 from 40.9). I guess we now just see what happens tomorrow and if she is still around, we'll get another dose of antibiotics for her.
In an attempt to be a bit more successfull with the rabbits, I'm building a big nursing cage, 2m long, hopefully I'll have it ready for the weekend when Snowwhite is to drop.
On a plus note, we did manage to round up the sheep (which escaped yesterday!), and the other lambs are still doing fine.
