FUZZ BUTT ENTHUSIAST
Unfortunately I just found my first dead kit. It was a large, single kit that was possibly stillborn. Not sure if it was born alive or not but I suspect not. The only thing I was able to see was what looked like some abrasions around the mouth.
I have a couple of questions...when a mom has a stillborn kit do they usually go on to have healthy kits later or are they more likely to have more stillborn kits in the future?
How common are stillborn kits? I know that without a necropsy I'll never know the exact cause of death but I was wondering if anyone knows of some general factors that could cause it?
