sick rabbits


Recommended Posts

I don't know where i should post this, but here it is. My ferreting partner and I have come across sick rabbits in the last couple of years and wondered if anyone else had seen it,s like.

Today we caught yet another bunny with the same problem

We operate in the Berkshire,Hampshire Surrey area.

This is a doe pregnant with four young, not unusual I know. But she had a large cyst type growth on her shoulders filled with a clear water like substance inside that is what looks like white eggs, I have found as many as four of these cysts on one rabbit.

They can be inside or outside the body, the rabbit do,s not appear to have any ill effects.

Can anyone throw any light on the problem? How wide spread? and what is it?

Hope the photos help.

Thanks for the replies All

I used to feed them to the ferrets. Anyone recommend a good ferret wormer.

Panacure is a good wormer you can get it for most animals.
