Davy T 3 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hi...Just curious about this but has anyone had any rabbits with what looks like tumours on them ...I have shot 2 rabbits over the past week albeit on seperate permissions .The first rabbit had an airgun pellet lodged under its skin and the lump seemed to be on the meat immediately under the pellet {if that makes any sense} so i put it down to some infection from the pellet . The second rabbit had two seperate lumps one on its back below the rib cage and one at the top of its rib cage between the shoulder blades ...now i had a look for any pellets but couldnt find anything.....unfortunately i didnt take any pictures but these lumps were about 2-3 inches long and certainly in one case about just under an inch thick ...they were also white in colour ....has anyone had anythin like this before ....cheers David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
