Gave bunnies their 2nd shots today. I read anywhere of 5 to 7 days. So decided 5 as the 2 younger does will be due next week so the shots will be done before they Kindle. Most the info i found says the greatest improvment is seen after the 2nd shot. Overall bunnies are either slightly improved or holding the same. Sam has a mouth ulcer and wasn't eating well but he has resumed eating and the ulcer is healing. I have been feeding them all the hay they can eat, regular amount of pellets but it's split into 2 feedings. Water has been a challenge as Temps were under 20 degrees and negative windchills... but am managing. Maybe next year I will have an insulated barn for the buns. Am encouraged. Demaris is as big as a barn... pretty sure she settled.... Twilight has a belly too... of course they settled this time around.

for healthy mamas, healthy kits would be nice but I won't hold my breath.
Stay warm herdies

Any news? Hoping they are doing better or at least holding their own.

Things seem much better, Sam's ulcer on his lip is healed, though he still has a pustule on his sheath. Have been limiting handling them unless there's a problem. They get shot #3 tomorrow do i will check the others then but all are eating well, no diarrhea and everyone acts good. Twilight has been collecting hay and carrying it around since Saturday. I gave her a box tonight even though it's only day 26, she immediately made a nest in it. Seemed relieved to have a place for her collection. So maybe we're through the worst of it, getting hopeful for bunnies....

Glad to hear they seem to be doing good and fingers crossed for babies soon here along with a full recovery.

Some bunnies still have swelling and scabs but all are improving. Demaris and Twilight are due this weekend, they are both collecting their hay and have nests made. both are much improved in their vd symptoms so.... maybe we'll get some live bunnies??? Alena also appears bred, due next week. She was only bred 1x as it was after that I discovered she too was showing signs of vd. this time around its to Sam, she still seems swollen and has a postule yet. I will be giving her and the other non bred symptom showing bunnies another shot on Sunday. I keep questioning is it a scab or dirt, swollen or normal.... 
Going with my gut to eradicate the vd for good. George has lost some weight so am hoping he continues to recover. 
he would be very hard to replace being a SQ siamese sable. He bred Demaris so these will be his first litter. Holly's last due date is this week also But nada after 6 weeks of breeding.... I suspect she might of been the source bc of her unwillingness to be breed but Idk 
she has had 1 postule but no other symptoms... a part of me says pet her out ...but most sources I have found says this is completely treatable and once they aren't showing signs rebreed. 
really hoping to get back on track with my bunny plans.
