Kit born day after the rest

We have just found our rabbit has given birth to a kit which surprised us as she has given birth to a litter of 3 a day before? Is this unusual? Should we seek veterinary help. I'm worried she may have problems.

No, it's not usual at all, but it is not necessarily a problem. In the last 10 years, we have had a couple does deliver 1-2 kits a day after the rest of the kits, and the does ended up without lasting problems.

I'm not one to tell you *not* to seek vet help - you should get a professional opinion if you think you need it.
