I've not had near as good luck with Critical Care as I have Bene-Bac. I guess that's what makes this place great, we don't always have to agree on process.
:idea: If they still show signs of bloat you could always try adding Simethicone drops to their treatment.
My Bene-Bac is on it's way... the PetSmart didn't have it.
My friend did have Critical Care, so I am using it. (I figured it was better than nothing)
I'm thinking an electrolyte treatment for all. I did give the bunnies that appear to be healthy still a small cup of Cheeks(sp?) I was told that would help get their guts moving with the powder.
I have no idea what Simethicone drops are... but I'll google it.....
I have done a lot of reading on the illness forum. I think if I cull the seriously bloated and get the rest to keep eating..... and dose with Critical Care until my Bene-Bac comes in ..... I will likely be able to save the majority of the bunnies.

Potty doe seems to be recovering. (I gave her a water dish this morning instead of bottle only.... she was thrilled!)
The bucks that seemed effected appear back to normal and were all eating hay normally this morning.
I got looking and the majority of the does effected were from the same litter... and looking at my records, it appears I might have made a mistake that has caused this:
That litter was a week younger than the other 3. I separated them all from their mom's at the same time. It's possible that that younger litter wasn't ready to be taken from mom.... :bash: Maybe all this is because the little critters weren't fully setup(weaned) and ready to leave?
Damn I wish I had paid closer attention!! (feeling stupid!) :cry_baby:
