Luckyshot Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I shot this rabbit the other week with the hmr. On picking it up I noticed it had a rather large lump on its neck. After feeling the lump through the fur I just had to cut it out to see what it was as it looked and felt the size of a golf ball. After I cut it out I poked it with my knife and it was as hard as a golf ball not sure what it was so I threw it away but the rest of the rabbit seemed fine so that went in for the ferrets as usual. This was the rabbit after I picked it up, can't realy see the lump much This was the rabbit after I had cut the lump out This is the lump that came out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apache Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 It's an abscess. Not really fit for human or ferret consumption. Bunnies make a very thick cheesy puss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckyshot Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 It's an abscess. Not really fit for human or ferret consumption. Bunnies make a very thick cheesy puss. Ferrets never complained and they are fit and healthy as ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
