luckytrigger Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 interesting..I shot a rabbit that had a very similar appearance but the 'growth' was all over its body :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Sniffles, which is an upper respiratory tract bacterial infection. If it's just around the mouth and nose that's what it will likely be The sores and lesions which mixy causes are very similar but will usually be evident elsewhere, especially round the eyes.

SidneyG Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Looks lot like Orf too,usually found in sheep but spreads like wildfire Thats what I was thinking, can rabbits contract Orf? I knew a chap who got it on his thumb once....very painful I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustyfox Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I seen some rabbits like that it is definatly Myxomatosis.. It effects rabbits usually with the eyes swollen up etc, but they also get lumps like that al over the body. dustyfox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i think your right and it might of been the virus just starting? LM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
