Kay 3,709 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Have you considered that it may be your pressence thats making her worse , leave her be if the kits dont make it its going to be for a reason , they invest hell off a lot of time energy into a litter & dont cull them without good reason Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I did the opposite, I removed the youngest/smallest kitt for a few days, as it was on deaths door, as was not getting her share of meat, kept her in a cage, giving her fresh rabbit 3 x day, plus kitten milk, put her back in the court yesterday, and she's doing fine, although I still remove her for a hour daily, for her own little feed/milk Quote Link to post
The one 8,594 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Think you need to have a good look at your jill and make sure shes no in pain or anything jills could be on deaths door and still care for there kitts .Unless its her first litter sounds like theres something up with her Quote Link to post
Guest jojoamojo Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 have you checked her nips, could she not have mastitis therefore not be producing milk? Quote Link to post
