Bloody discharge??

Are you sure it's bloody discharge and not just reddish urine? Rabbit urine is often reddish and looks like watery bloody discharge.

The fertilized eggs don't implant in the uterine horns until day nine, so there is nothing to abort yet. 
Many people mistake orange urine for blood. Rabbits pee in a rainbow of colors and different consistencies. When they are ridding the body of excess calcium the urine can become quite thickened, which in combination with the dark orange color would resemble blood.

I remember the first time one of my buns had red pee... I was pretty sure she was dying and it was all my fault . She didn't die, though, and I learned to just ignore the colour of the pee, to keep myself from freaking out!

I have seen the redish color urine you speak of but this seems different.
Thanks for your thoughts. Lowell

I've seen it and had the following happen
1. pregnant but aborted around day 20
2. pregnant did just fine, smaller than normal litter though (usually 8 had four)
3. NOT pregnant by day 31, never saw anything else.
So.... what it means for YOUR doe? I dunno.

Just a bit of an up-date...doe gave birth to 2 babies that were dead. Not sure if they died after birth or born dead. It was does first litter. She made a nest and pulled fur and they were born in the nest box.
How long should I wait to re-breed??

:yeahthat:
I'm sorry she lost the kits.
I would check both the doe and buck for any signs of vent disease before breeding, since she had that strange discharge. Hopefully it was just a random event, but better safe than sorry.
