Kay 3,709 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 How old are the kits ? had a jill yrs ago who was found to be not in with the kits , she was just laying about in the run, i fetched her out & put her in a small run & she walked the run bumping into the sides, i took her to the vets & she was diagnosed milk fever, given an injection but sadly didnt survive i would take her to the vets to be on the safe side Quote Link to post

Brimmer 220 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Shame! Some won't it's the sad fact. Natures a cruel place. Leave them alone, don't look in, and hopefully a few may be alive in the end mate. Nature knows better than us, it all goes on for a reason. Quote Link to post
