Unborn kit still inside Jill??

[Hob&Jill 258]

One of my jills had 3 kits, 3 weeks ago. She got rid of one so I now only have 2 kits. For obvious reasons Ive been keeping any disturbance, handling etc to a minimum. I went to feed her about an hour ago and she seemed calm enough so I picked her up and gave her a fuss but there is a large lump still inside her stomach area. I can only assume shes got one inside her still....

I assume I am going to have to pts at some stage, but I still have 2 dependant kits for at least another 3 weeks.... I cant imagine I could leave her for another 3-4 weeks with this inside her.

Shes not acting strange at all and the 2 remaining kits are both growing well and looking healthy.

 

Having just become self-employed and started/invested alot of money into my own business I am not in any position for a costly cesarean or any surgery.

 

Any advice would be greatly appretiated.

I had it happen it was the last kit & as it was dead there was no way she was going to pass it .. the vet gave an oxcytocin jab & she passed it ... you do need to get her to the vets asap

If you're on benefits you can get help through the PDSA sometimes.. its worth asking about...

You sure it's not just milk ??? If not vets I go to my vets first a d explain [bANNED TEXT] is wrong saves trapesing all the wy there with ferrets , if there is something in there it will become infected she will die , but if your not prepared to go to a vets why keep animals it's one of them things that can happen
