Given the prevalence of flies this year, could be maggots indeed. I'll get pumpkin seeds and clean frequently to see if that does the trick. Thanks all!

Not a clue. How would I find out?

Today when I was cleaning rabbit poop trays, I found one tray full of small whitish yellowish worms. I assume deworming is needed. Can I buy it at the store? How do I figure the dosage for the six-week-old kits?

The vet said that might happen. Her babies are 5 weeks old now and eating solid food. I'll give her a week or two, and then into the stewpot with her. Such a pity - she's such a good mama.

I usually figure 4 hours high or 8 hours low.

Okay Brody, come to my alcohol free household for spinning lessons and Ann's house to spin around .:D I'll hide the popples!

Hurrah for Sophia!!!

I love my wheel never had the patience for a drop spindle. It's sitting idle at the moment, but I WILL spin this summer! Brody, plan a trip to Wisconsin - R Pine can teach you the drop spindle and Ann or I can teach you the wheel

I'm so sorry. I'm glad you got to love him for so many years.

Brody, if there was a foster, I could foster the babies and safely give mama the antibiotics. To all, thanks for the reassurance. I'll call my regular vet on Monday about lancing and draining the abcess. In the meanwhile, I'm mushing up her food so she can eat more easily.

Lovely

I took her to the vet. Choices are: 1)antibiotics to heal the abcess, but they'll kill the babies or 2)Let it go untreated and the kits will live, but QV will most likely die. Decision: Hold off on antibiotics so QV can continue to nurse her 8 kits. Give her mashed up food that's easy to...

Down to 8, all seem to be fine. They're growing peach fuzz!

Yeah, that's what I suspect, Ann. I'll be checking every day.

Just think of how calm, peaceful and serene your household will soon be.

I counted today - NINE, all living, 2 very puny.

I've been gently poking and everything I poke moves. Nonetheless, since Queen Victoria is a mellow mama, I'll be pulling them out for a head count today.

They were born Sunday and mama is taking great care of them! Either 4 or 5 - they bundle together and I don't want to stress out their mama by taking them out for a headcount. HURRRAH!

Just ask MIL if she'd like to help. :)

Thanks everyone. Miss M, I never heard of Feline Pine. Is it a scooopable litter? I was told not to use cat litter as it has potentially toxic substances. Would wood shavings work as well?
