HELP! Kit stuck inside birth canal

[AmberLops]

My vet, before we moved, once told me how much penicillin to use on a rabbit based on weight and what she would use on a cat. That was helpful. I already had the refrigerated bottle from one of the ag/outdoor stores. It did the trick back then for a doe with mastitis. I also had help from a friend that was a rabbit show judge and during the day was a vet tech. That helped a lot too.

That is helpful!
Do you happen to remember the penicillin dose?
I'm a vet tech but my clinic only sees cats and dogs

I was just telling my DD that at nearly 58, I'm considering going back to school to become a vet for the simple reason that there are never any vets around here (crazy, since we're such a big Ag state) who do goats, or most other "farm animals". The few that are around (an hour or so away, mind you) charge an arm and a leg (plus your firstborn, a kidney, and dibs on one or both lungs).

We could definitely use more exotic and livestock vets!

I want to say 1cc/10lbs. It's been a while now, and I forget. I had picked up the syringes and the Vet said to go subcutaneous at scruff of neck. The litter the doe currently had were fostered out. I think I treated for a week, and then had to wait a month for the penicillin to get out of her system before her milk was safe again. So I waited the month to breed, and she didn't have problems again, and was able to nurse too. It was only on one side if I remember.

I'm so sorry to hear about what happened! Do NOT blame yourself, you did what you could for her.
