I'm sick to my stomach over this.....It can't be anything else.
I've got samples ready to send off to the FDA tomorrow morning.
AFTER, I empty all feeders and load 8-10 bags of feed back into the van
to return to the feed store.
I was "alerted" to the possibility of having bad feed about a week ago.
At first, I dismissed it as disgruntled people "blaming" someone else
for their misfortune. I was wrong, very wrong.
Several days ago, I lost a couple of fryers...."WEIRD" but I didn't shout
"The sky is falling." Just one of those things that happens every once in
a while. From that point............to now.......it's gone downhill.
I've lost 8-10 rabbits in the last 5 days.
The "CLINCHER" was today. A pair of full sisters, side by side, both out of
the same litter. They'd delivered their second litter about 4 weeks ago on
the same day. One had 10, the other had 9. Same feed, same hay, same
location, everything...............the same. Then, within 8 hours of one
another, both are deader than a hammer. Yesterday, they were fine.
Today.........they're dead.
I'm gonna find out what in the #### is going on. I've got the bag, feed
samples right out of their feeder, and the band off the bag bottom noting
the date, batch, and machine number.
I honestly cannot think or assume it is anything else.
Today's been a bummer.
