Liver Spots? Mixy?

[Kent_keith 46]

 

Went out yesterday on a nice permission in surrey right next to the M25, it's grass grazed on by cattle only, 4 fully grown rabbit and 6 kits, all the kits had livers with these with white spots, all adult livers were fine? Mixy or normal? There were no marks on the outside of the rabbits as I could see? What do you think guys?

Hello mate that is what's known as liver fluke,

I see a lot of it round my perms which is mainly sheep and cattle farms, I don't eat them if they have it but I remove the liver and check the other organs, if they look ok I will feed to the ferrets but if in doubt throw them out

Just my opinion mate

Hope this helps
