Need Advice: Nursing Doe has Mastitis w/ 11 newborn kits

One of our nursing rabbits seems to have a case of mastitis--all of the nipples are red/inflamed. We've separated the doe from her 11 kits and are now scrambling to figure out how to (1) treat her mastitis and (2) and whether or not we need to hand feed her many little babies. The kits are just 5 days old, so really little and not ready to transition to non-milk food. We're looking for advice. The internet is not very clear on what to do in either situation. I'm not even sure that we needed to separate her from her kits.  

Last night, we fed the doe some doxy dissolved in water from a syringe (because that is what we have on hand) and plan to dose her every 12 hours. We plan to feed the kits with kitten milk replacer this morning. Okay, that's about where we are at with this. Thank you!

I wouldn't separate them.  If they made it to 5 days, she has plenty of milk in the others.  We have had over a thousand litters and only had mastitis once.  The pen had bad wire and poked her.  We usually set it up to kit 3 at a time so we can swap kits to other mothers if they are getting skinny.

Thanks, Christopher! We put the nesting box back in and will monitor whether or not they are getting enough milk. Do you think that we should worry about giving the doe antibiotics if she's still nursing?

Next time, we will try to have multiple kits. That's wise advice. This was my daughter's first successful litter with her champagne d'argents. She's still building up the herd, but has another breeding pair currently growing out.

Since you have already given it to her, I don't think another dose would hurt.  Sometimes getting a pure breed line up and running you will have odd problems because of the inbreeding. Mother swapping works well with us mixing breeds too.  Sometimes the lops don't have much milk, but our Californians do.  It can be fun to watch other breeds rase their adopted ones.  We have never had them reject them.
