Overdue Doe

[Becca'sBunnyBarn]

I normally wouldn't be posting about an overdue doe, but she's normally very regular, having them around the same time each litter. She is for sure pregnant, and she usally has large litters, so I can tell when she pregnant or just bluffing. She pulled her fur and put in the nestbox, but hasn't done anything else with it. Also her milk is starting to come in. She's on day 35, but she usally has her kits on day 31-32. I've had this problem before, though not with this doe, so I kinda know what to do. I've done Tums, and the tea leaves. I know she hasn't re-absorbed them, (I have had a Holland Lop do that). So if anyone knows something I can do to enduce her, I would be very grateful.
P.S. She is a Black Otter Lionhead

Did she finally have the bunnies?

 

[Becca'sBunnyBarn]

Nope. 10 days overdue and still no kits. She one of my best and proven does, so I'm hoping she will be ok

sorry to hear this.

@Samantha drawz , @Bunnylady maybe will have some ideas

 

[BlessedWithGoats]

Aww! Hope all is well!!

If she is okay this. Long after due date she is prolly okay.

 

[Becca'sBunnyBarn]

Thank you! She still is very round and tight, so I'm hoping that at least she will have stillborn kits just to get them out of her.

Is there any sign that she has had any labor pains? Has she been in and out of her next box?
Are you sure of the due date?
If you are sure of due date it may be time to get her to a rabbit vet. If there is a problem it would be good to deal with it early on. However this could get expensive.

 

[Becca'sBunnyBarn]

She made a nest on day 29, but then stopped and kinda left it alone. She's been sitting in the nestbox alot as of late, though. Yes, I am sure of the due date. I keep a calender out in my barn just for that purpose. And yes, taking her to the vet would be very expensive.
Thanks for taking the time to ask

Just keep an eye on her... if she starts to smell then she has an infection from retained kits. This does not always happen. If she gets one she'll need to be on antibiotics or put down. If not, she may pass them mummified or just absorb them. I've had it happen in the past as have many others I know.
