nobjerk 161 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 out for a shine last night on a place thats usually reliable , along a railway line next to cattle pasture . my young dog had the only rabbit we saw all night and its head was covered is blister like sores . they were of varying size and were void of fur but without the usual swollen eyes of the myx , the rabbit seemed to run well and new where he wanted to go , so looked fit until a close up revealed the mess it was in. sorry no pics but wondered if any one had seen anything similar as it dosent fit any symptoms of vhrd or myx.?
