how do these rabbits look on show quality?

she took him to the vet yesterday and they cleaned it all out and gave him a penicillin shot, they told her to soak his foot in a water medicine mix every day for a week. she has another vet app next tuseday. they said it was from him laying on his side then flipping up and cutting it on the...

my friend just called and sent these pics of her holland lops ankle, it has an abcess on the side of his foot and seems to have pus in it, he also has a stange white thing near the abcess. she said it was wet and sticky, what should she do?!

of the four kits two of them were nice and fat and two were small and wrinkled when i found them this morning. one of the small ones i managed to get nice and fat again with the goat milk, however the othe small one just about died in my hands while feeding it :( hoping for the best in the...

when i got home the runt had already passed :( i am glad he didnt suffer long. i fed the other smalll kit from the dropper but it is still so wrinkly. it drank some then kinda just fell asleep. if it is still alive in the morning i will feed it again. it did pee twice, idk if that is a good sign.

i am leaving my job at a dairy goat farm and brought a gallon of milk home, so tonight i will be tring to feed the two little kits tonight with an eye dropper. any suggestions are welcome! i know i need to give only a drop or two at a time and i will warm up the milk for them.

just checked on them and the injured kit is doing great! he pooed alittle and is very active and fat! however two of the smaller kits looked too skinny so i tried to help them nurse but the runt is just so small and weak he couldnt attach to a teat to get much milk :( i have a feeling he may not...

just an update on his other foot, it does have a cut on it but it looks alot better than yestrday! it also seems to be healing fast, it is still alittle red but not swollen or anything bad looking.

cookiesandcream you are right, all i can do now is wait and see. thank you for bringing it up, i was planing on selling them as show rabbits however i know he is no longer showable. i would love to keep him! but i dont know if i have room for another cage, if i can get him/her neutered or spayed...

majorv that could have been what happened, the other back foot looks better today but it is hard to get pics. he is just as active and healthy as the other kits.

ok so i just checked on them and all five kits are alive :) ! i didnt end up putting anything on three footed kit because it seems to have started to heal, it is now a scab. i tried to take pictures but they are very wiggly! also they seemed fed however i held my doe unside down to allow the...

yesterday my holland lop kindled five kits! later in the day i went to check on them and noticed that one is missing a back foot :( !it appears to have been chewed off rather than born without it. other than the foot it seemed completely fine. im and going to put antibiotic on it today if he...

i dont know if any of those photos worked so here they are again

here are some pics i know it doesnt look good :( it looks like it was bitten off, what do you think? does he have a chance?

HELP! i just went to check on the kits and the first one i pulled out i realized is missing a back foot! idk if it was born that way or if it got bit off or if it was from being born on the wire! does this kit have a chance at surviving or will it die from infection, will it be able to walk with...
