Phantom 631 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 hi tony like iv said mate it was my first one and i was abit gutted as the rabbit was a good size and i chuked it i olso noticed that the kiddneas and liver looked like they had been cooked atvbmac You'll be prepared next time Check out some of my autopsy posts and there is stuff in them that will almost put you off bunny for life It put me off for a year or two and had to force myself to start eating them again (needless to say that the local Foxes got quite overweight at one point on my cemy and Padock perms ). One of the worst livers I ever saw was a fairly early kill. I shot it on the land of (what was then Hull&District FTC) When I find the cable to my portable HDD I'll pop the image up for you to see. It was greenish/red/brown/yukky almost rubber like but brittle as well. The worst Rabbit I ever shot, I didn't even open up! Oh man that was an experiance and a half! I had a bag full of bunny entrails that I'd taken out of a number of kills (it was a hot day and the flies were rife!!). I shot this funny looking bunny (behaved a bit odd too), when I went to collect it after taking the shot it was humming So I chucked it to one side of the hedge a few feet away from the bag of guts. I kid you not the flies migrated from the smelly hot bag of guts to this one rabbit within minutes (I'm feeling sick just thinking about it!!!). I've tried finding the posts in the archive on here but no joy as yet. Again I'll add the pix when I can get to them. Tony Quote Link to post

iana 25 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Was out the other week pigeon shooting with my mate and he shot a pigeon and exactly the same was inside the pigeon. And it stank like s....t. We didn't know what it was and just dismissed it. Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 It's strange really, Tapeworms can cross into humans and other species such as dogs, foxes etc,.... But none of the worms that infect Pigeons can not infect humans including the Tapeworm! There are over a thousand different types of tapeworm apparently The ones that inhabit Mamals can cross into humans, apparently the ones that inhabit the Avian species are harmless to humans (but I would prefere an authoritive conclusion on that). Right.... Big Mac you wanted them here's a few images of various Livers. One of the first things a meat inspector does when an animal is slaughtered is check the liver. If the liver shows signs of disease then the carcase of the animal is discarded. So if the liver is not a deep, almost purple red and the Gall Bladder is not dark green almost black I dont eat them. Below, I'm not 100% certain of this but I believe this is the start of the journey from the stomach into the liver of some kind of worm. I did find a name for it and the description fitted but it escapes me now. Again I forget the name of this one, not a worm though Continued in next post........... Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Here's a couple more Only Craig AKA Buster was able to give me the name of this one, it's called "Coccidiosis" or among vets "Eimeria stiedae" More on Liver diseases of bunnies can be found here http://www.rabbit.org/health/liver.html Finally... This is again a Tapeworm Cyste, but checkout the size! My hands are not small! Tony Quote Link to post

Phantom 631 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Tapeworm eggs are extremely resiliant to both freezing and cooking. They have also been known to be fatal to humans if the get into the lungs, heart and brain. I would visit your doctor. Quote Link to post
Spadge 3 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I did take them out and washed it again what do u reckon Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I did take them out and washed it again what do u reckon I reckon that as the rabbit has to eat something and these eggs dont just appear on the muscle something must work through the meat in order for the eggs to form in the cyste, I Personally would be asking the doctor for medication as a 'precaution' against Tapeworm. Rabbits are only the intermediate host. These things can grow the entire length of the intestinal tract and deprive you of nutrients at the least. Tony Quote Link to post
