Should I cull her?

Sky, how could it be your fault ... either she came with some illness or genetic weakness. Neither of which you want in your herd. The way I see it is you could dose her with medicines (more money down a money hole) which would only perpetuate the weakness in the line. I so feel for you having such a hard time finding good quality breeding stock! I hope you get some better genetics from your convention delivery! Now, if you wanted satins, there's a lady east of you wanting to sell off her herd due to unexpected financial disaster. Good quality show stock. If you are interested, PM me and I can put you in touch with her.

Thanks. I'm thinking that I took her to a show unaware that she was pregnant, and losing that first litter caused a problem. Or maybe when I went without pellets for a while, that threw her off balance?

Satins sound good, but I'm not ready to give up Rex, and I just took on the Woolies and the Silver Fox. I am counting on the convention Rex, but they will be Sable and Cal, bred to each other and not to the chins.<br /><br />__________ Wed Oct 31, 2012 5:05 pm __________<br /><br />It's been 11 days. I took her out to look at her, and her coat looks great. The two of them seem happy together, but I did give her cage to someone else Also, she seems a little fat to me, round on the sides and her belly seems full.
