Anybody ever seen this on a rabbit?

Tackleberrywho

Shot a Bunny ~ an hour ago and was showing Dev110 another way to skin a bunny.
Paulo showed him his way yesterday.

I noticed this green growth/tumorous growth

bunny shooter

Never seen that before

The lungs?

On the right lung.
When I poked it with the tip of the knife it burst open and green liquid, like mint sauce on bacon came out of it.

Myself and Paulo shot the same Bunny yest with Mixy.

My previous experience of mixy bunnies is that they can take more than one shot as they are already in so much pain.

March is waaaaaaaaaaaay to early for mixy in my books.

I hope that these bunnies were one off's and not that they are in serious decline
3 hours this eve only saw a few wary bunnies in 5 of my permissions

Dev as my witnesss.

That doesn't look like the lungs to me.

More like the liver, and I would wager that the "tumour" is in fact a normal healthy gall bladder.

Have a look here, or search Google for more images.

EDIT: The green liquid was bile.

bazza888

that does look extremely like the gall bladder in that pic

I never saw that in a rabbit before and I skin them for a few older friends of mine fairly regularly

The rabbit was not as active, or conditioned as others I have shot so hence I was wondering.

I am not a vet so I asked for help

bazza888

at least if it is that you know the rabbit is normal

I'm not familiar with that little critter's innards!

However, I would suggest that you may not have seen it before because the GB is tucked up inside the liver. Note the crevice it's sitting in.

Thanks so much for that visual.

This is one of the reasons I want to take that Venison 101 course.

Well after shooting in the region of 500-1000 bunnies I have seen their insides a lot:D

Never noticed it before, suppose it may have been infected.

(I must shoot another few bunnies to be sure, he was a male for the record)

Bet you'll never eat mint sauce again either.


I'm normally not that careful with a bunny but I wanted to give Dev some exposure to different skinning methods, when I noticed the above

Mint sauce on lamb I know. But on bacon? That's new to me!

Tackleberrywho

Now that is a manky looking bunny.
A pet too judging by the amount of yellow fat.
Still the gall bladder on my bunny was protruding out.

The Greycrow will do an Autopsy on him tomorrow

session savage

I saw another mixy rabbit outside the other day on my way to work. Thought it was fierce early myself.

It was ready to burst with festering Pesto Sauce:D

At least if it is communicable it should not spread anymore

fallowbuck

The poor fecker obviously had gall stones!:D
Therefore it was less active,and thats why you mannaged to hit him with your second shot after missing (badly) with your first Tack!!:p

Tackleberrywho

No gall stones...........
And he was hit with the first shot 148 yards, Dev110 verified kill.

I was only concerned that the rabbits on my permissions may have a disease.
I'm hope Thursday, I'll shoot another then and investigate further

i love this sort of statment. there's a gap of 500 there, would you say you shot 0 ~ 500, when on rabbit 120 :p

not a dig btw tack, just reminds of an apprentice i used to have, was pure entertainment working with him. when asked measurments of things he'd have a difference's the width of a road. :p.

on the topic of mixy, my springer has caught mixy rabbits in lots of differant areas all through the season and the last one was two weeks ago.

I have no idea how many bunnies I killed to be fair, somewhere between 500 and 1000 at a guesstimate.
I don't even count any more.

By far my most dispatched game
