Hello,
I have a dutch doe who has a 2 week old litter of 4 and she had good body type before she kindled. Is there anything I can do to re-condition her again so she can be shown?
 
Not really, if the genetics are there for her to gain that kind of condition back, she will. Time and patients. You can feed a bit more and add a topper like some do (can search what others use/mix in with their feed in the forums for more on that). Have to be very careful though not to make her overly fat. Most show a rabbit as much as they are going to prior to litters, very few will show (and win or do well) after a doe has had kits. It just changes them and makes them not as firm in flesh as well as hurts their hq solidness. Plus some can end up getting dq's or faults because of the fur pulling (whites hairs) or end up with another injury (damaged teats due to mastasis or self mutilation even).
