I just went out to check on a doe thats been pulling hair for the last two days, and is due to kindle any day now, and discovered one of my older litters has M.E. Its the litter of three, with the the two whites, and the regular grey standard chins. I made a hosptial cage out of one of my carriers and brought them inside where I can keep an eye on them for a hours, and treat them for it. It was about 95 degrees today. And I think the heat is what brought this on. 
Ive got another rabbit out there that has lost a little condition, drank a ton of water today, but didnt touch much of her food and hay. Everyone is going on meds for preventative for the next three days just in case.
These three babies really seem to be enjoying the air conditioning. And are really basking in it. They started binkying all over the cage after I brought them in.
The little grey one already looks like hes gonna some show potentail. So I hope they come out of this ok. They should because I have had pretty good luck with treating M.E cases.
