Phantom 631 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) Myxie can show up as white spots (according to a survival manual) on the liver. Good shooting BTW Phantom Edited June 23, 2009 by Phantom Quote Link to post
dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Nice shooting mate... im pretty sure that the white blobs in the liver will be liver fluke, they are like a parasitic worm type thing. Quote Link to post

Good shooting BTW Phantom not mixi mate, i have shot plenty with mixi and looked at their livers to see if they are marked and generaly they wernt, also the ones i shot tonight had no signs of mixi, though i have shot some with 'scars' that have survived it!

ferretville 69 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Liver fluke mate noticed younger rabbits are quite prone to it . If you have ferrets just remove the liver the little buggers will demolish the rest . Quote Link to post

pegandgun 52 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 The white spots on the livers of the young rabbits are Coxcideosis and it effects rabbits up to 3/4 grown especially in places where there is a high population of rabbits.Young pheasants get it too.It would be wise to cook those rabbits up for the dogs or ferret food although you can eat an infected rabbit why bother.If you shoot only big rabbits you wont get this problem and most young rabbits recover from the desease....P&G...

I stand corrected (again! but I dont mind as its good to learn by our mistakes) I'm sure it was Lofty that wrote it, hence my reply. As for eating a Myxie infected bunny, according to the boffins, its not unsafe to munch on it, but would you want to try it? :sick: Phantom Quote Link to post
