Snuffles survivor: keep or cull?

I somehow kept one doeling from the litter that got snuffles. Although surrounded and quarentined, she never showed symptoms. So: should I keep her as worthy stock? I am not in need of does, but wondering if she is going to be stronger as a result.

thx,

I personally would, and then if she comes down again at some point, Cull then. JMO, I'm still new.

I think it's good to keep in mind all the diseases europeans brought to America. Whites had been dealing with the diseases for so long, that only ones that had a resistance survived to reproduce. The Native Americans hadn't had any exposure, so when they were first exposed, there were mass deaths. Possibly it is good for a species to have resistant animals in the breeding pool.

that's how you breed for resistance.

Some will say she's a carrier which equals death.

but since 90% of the population basically has snuffles in one form or the other (some just as carriers) as long as she doesn't show symptoms AND those around her don't show symptoms you got a keeper.

If you have a rabbit showing any symptoms
of Pasteurella the animal should be put down
and disposed of properly. If you have a Doe that kindles
and then begins to show the tell tale signs of the illness
I would allow her to raise the kits to weaning, perhaps early weaning.
I would closely observe these youngsters, and the minute any of them
began to show signs of illness they would be culled.
The one or two that become juniors without showing any signs of the disease
would be my keepers. These are the animals which are displaying the greatest
amount of resistance to illness the ones with the strongest immune system.
This is what you are striving for in a disease resistant herd.
It will take a great amount of time and persistence.
You will be culling a lot of rabbits, but it WILL be worth it when you get to
the point where your Rabbits require little or no intervention with the
various drugs on the market used to treat or cover up symptoms.
I rarely treat a Rabbit, the only thing I have treated in years
is nestbox eye, and only when I know the cause was dust etc. in the eye.
I use Vitamin [E] squirted into the eye. I always treat both eyes.
I have not Medicated my Rabbits in a VERY long time.
I don't have to, they show no signs of illness and any Rabbit doing so would be Culled.
You cannot allow one or two Rabbits to place your whole herd in jeopardy.
As always, JMPO.
