The last rabbit of a family of four died for diarrhea.
In this family the first to die was the mother without apparent reason, after in 15 days 2 of the three babies all of them without showing any sickness.
So, the last of the family, I took in my house to have him always under observation.
I wanted him living because it was the last one of the family.
After one week from the death of his last brother, He started with a small diarrhea of pulpy carrot colour.
So I started to give him every two hours a juice made of hydrolitic solution with carrot, broccoli, pellet and baby cereals. He liked it. 2 or 3 cc. every 2 or 3 hours. His weight was about 300 grms.
twice a day 0,70 cc of trimetoprim sulfa, 2 drops daily of baycol, 0,70 cc of metronidazol twice a day and 0,30 cc of panacur (fenobendazol) daily.
yesterday at midnight I put near him a bottle of warm water to keep him in a good temperature( He didn't eat and always was sad, in the day I always put near him a a big rabbit for companion, but It always looked to stay alone).
This morning at 7 am It was dead with some diarrhea .
So what was my mistake and because i have many small rabbits free in the garden, what can i do when this will happen again?
I noted in four years than when they loose the mother , they don't grow like the others and they die easily in the first 3 months.
thanks for your advices.
