Stuck Kits...retained kit??

[AmberLops]

HELP!
My Netherland Dwarf was due today (first litter) and she had a stuck kit...when i was pulling it out I realized that it had the umbilical cord wrapped around its neck.
I got that one out and after about a half hour she passed the placenta. She has another kit in her... It's been 2 hours and she is not having any more contractions.
I gave her black cohosh, RealSalt and turmeric in water, hoping that would help induce labor.
So far nothing is happening. I know a dead kit in her will kill her if it stays there...is there anything else I can do??

Retained kits aren't necessarily a death sentence. They can mummify inside the doe. Usually, the remains of the dead kit act like a IUD, keeping the doe from conceiving (at least on that side). I have had a couple of does pass a fetal mummy with a subsequent litter; they are weird looking, snake-like shriveled things that are barely recognizable as being rabbits. One doe, I knew she had a mummy when I got her, but the other was a surprise.

I have also had a few does give birth to a retained kit a couple of days after the others, especially when there were only a couple of really large kits. It's not unusual for contractions to stop, and restart later; I've been told that some breeds of rabbits are notorious for giving birth over the course of a few days rather than all at once.

A vet can give a shot of Oxytocin to try to get the contractions going and expel the kit, or do a c-section (though you might as well have the doe spayed at the same time, since she probably won't be useful as a breeder after that).

I'm not a rabbit person - but a ton of years ago we had a bunny that had the same problem. I called my rabbit mentor and he recommended Oxytocin. I had some on hand and as best I recall (and I don't really trust my memory) but I think I gave her 1/4 cc - or was it .10 of a cc? Anyway, she delivered a big ol' single kit. Good luck with her - hope she can get through this.

Thanks everyone for your replies!
So far no kit yet. She (Mavis) seems comfortable though, eating her hay and dinner.
The vet I work for doesn't treat rabbits and the clinic that will is only open 2 days a week. I'll give them a call on Monday if things are looking worse for her.
@Jesusfreak101 i appreciate you researching for me Thank you for the links!
@frustratedearthmother if i had oxytocin i would give her some but the laws are so strict on it now and it has to be administered by a vet after examining the animal Wish i could, i know it would help her!
It's good to know that the kit could mummify...that makes me feel better, I was worried about sepsis but it sounds like rabbits can handle issues like this pretty well.
Thanks again everyone!
