Abstract
Summary
A one-year-old female Flemish giant rabbit that never kindled before was presented forty-eight hours after delivery of three kits. Vaginal examination revealed the presence of a fetus in anterior presentation of normal size in an unobstructed birth canal. Radiographs identified the presence of two normal sized apparently dead fetuses, which was confirmed by transabdominal ultrasound examination. Repeated oxytocin treatment and supportive care enabled the doe to deliver two dead fetuses.
