urgent - rabbit in labor

Lilandra · #1 07/06/07, 10:07 PM

hi - first time mom here...
i have an accidental breeding - holland lop doe/flemish giant buck. she is in labor, first one was breech... not successful, got stuck and after 4 hours i helped her and the kit was dismembered but completely expelled. she seems like she might have others, but she seems skinny and is drinking water and looking a bit out of it.
how long does a normal labor take? and should i call a vet?
Thanks

Unless the first one was extremely huge, then she probably has more inside her. I'd just let nature take it's course. She has just had a huge ordeal with the first one so she's probably trying to relax, which will make delivering the others much easier on her.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
