Victory is a 2.5 years old Netherland Dwarf and has had a few litters. She was sold to me last month already bred, and day 30 of her gestation was July 21 (earlier this week). She never kindled.
We kept her on the same brand feed she was on previously, and did all we could to make her transition from Colorado to Texas climate as easy as possible. She has done very well and shown no signs of distress. (We built an insulated box, put large clay pots in the box, and connected the pots by pvc tubing to the buns cages. Every day at noon, we put ice jugs in the insulated boxes, so they can rest in the heat of the day in their 'air-conditioned burrows', which typically stay in the low 70's.)
The other 2 pregnant does who were sold with her kindled on time, and their kits are doing well.
Victory has no discharge from her nose, her eyes are bright and clear, she is eating and drinking well, and her elimination seems normal. When she has outside-cage time, she is active and curious.
HOWEVER, when I palpate her, I think I can feel at least one kit in her, and her bottom area has been yellow and stinky for over two weeks now. Should I be concerned? Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?
I greatly appreciate any help you all can offer,
Michelle
