My Rex Doe

[Oscar]

So I promised I would have this thread on here so here it is. So any help? Doe diseases I need to know about? Rex diseases/medical conditions I need to know about?

 

[skysthelimit]

Besides sore hocks, I can't think of any Rex specific medical issues.

 

[Oscar]

How about does in general?

 

[Knacker]

Mastitis.

 

[Oscar]

What's that?

 

[alforddm]

Mastitis is an infection of the mammary glands. It can happen in any nursing mammal (including humans).

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Do you have any idea why she died? I would make sure everything she touched is well sanitzed, just in case it was an illness. You don't want your new buns picking up anything your old ones may have had.

Well I don't exactly know what happened but judging by the way my other rabbit that was housed with her was acting, it was an easy death. It's a wood cage so would time work for sanitizing? She was cranky and but a lot so she wasn't my favorite, but it was a hard loss. Should I get a back up buck just in case? How many does should I get? What colors do you recommend? I got some pics of him today here they are,
