Another thing that he could do, is kill all the mxy ones and isolate it as much as possible, so it does not spread. Quote Link to post

scalesntails 118 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Never seen on my crap bit of permission luckily. I actually had a little blind baby rabbit hop over to me and stand by my trainer on the way back from fishing the other week. It looked awful with puss coming out of his eyes and sneezing constantly (I assume this was mixy) so I put him out of his misery and put my trainers in the washing machine when I got home.
