Overdue Doe

Ok, thanks so much for all of the advice. I have a good relationship with my vet, and she's told me to call her if I have questions. I'll give her a call tomorrow and then post an update. Hugs for everyone!

Good luck. I'm glad you have a good relationship with your vet!

@Becca'sBunnyBarn I was pretty sure that she could be rebred, my primary concern was not in the case of mummification, put rather the alternative, "decomposing corpses". When I was 2 my Mama almost died from that very thing. The surgical removal of this dead, decaying baby was termed a "legal abortion", something my parents were staunchly opposed to, and my poor Daddy had to sign paperwork approving an abortion for my near-dead Mama. It was very painful for him. Not the decision really, I mean who chooses a corpse over a wife, but the terminology. The knowledge that he would be raising 5 you children alone, and that the baby was long-since dead, were enough for him to make the right decision, and they waited another 9 years for baby #6. Anywho, I just didn't want your sweet doe to end up with an infection or worse. If there are kits and they are mummified, I'm sure rebreeding her will solve your problem. Just keep an eye out for signs of infection and I'm sure she'll be fine.

BTW, are your bunnies for show or food or both? Just curious.

Wow, what a story @sadieml I'm sorry about that loss.
I raise American Fuzzy Lops, English Spots, Holland Lops, and Lionheads, so they are all show breeds, (not that I do any showing myself) I sell my babies to people who wants pets or project rabbits, like for 4H or FFA.
I've wanted meat rabbits, but I don't have enough cage space

So really, no new news. I plan on rebreeding her soon, like in the next week sometime, and hope for the best. Thanks for all of the tips and support! I will keep you guys updated on her pregnancy.

Well, litter time is around again. My doe had a successful litter of four! Nothing wrong with her this time!
