I have two small breed rabbits (buck and doe). The female rabbit had her first litter of 3. They were all fine up until about 10 weeks, when they suddenly died. There were no symptoms. They seemed perfectly fine! Out of nowhere they suddenly were unable to stand, laid on their side, and had brief body spasms until they died. I'm sure it's a parasitic issue because it also killed two additional baby rabbits outside the gene pool, that I had purchased after the others had died. I wanted to know if anyone else has dealt with this issue before and how it could be treated. UPDATE: My doe is pregnant with a second litter, I'm worried the parasite will kill them off too. How can I prevent this?
 
It may not be a parasite issue... and we can't tell you if there is one. :)

stool sample to the vet will potentially give some answers.

at 10 weeks of age... PRIME age to develop entropathic illness...and with this wonky weather we've had all winter... young bunnies can get stressed, it sets their guts off.. and they are done.
