Carbonrocket Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hi all, Can you help me with this. I shot what looked like a decent large rabbit. Its fur was covered in what I thought was grass seed close to the skin. I started gutting it and between its skin and the meat there was a milky nasty smelling fluid, there was a lot of this fluid! I cut through to the gut and opened her up and a lot of foul - FOUL smelling gas started escaping. Guts out then I removed the fur, head and feet off. Split the body into smaller parts ready for water and salt but still that smell was there - vomit and acid is best to describe it. I then noticed this sack attatched to its rear leg. It was transparent and contained many of those grass looking seeds I had noticed on its fur. Well now with the smell and this I have been sick but. What is it? Anyone help Here is the sack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatingisbest Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Tapeworm cysts ! I'd agree with this and sounds like fly blows on the fur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon I have to say, the smelly gas thing is a new one on me (well not me, but in the rabbits I shoot), but fluid filled bags with blobs floating around = worms, which = the incinerator being fired up. Yuk yuk yuk. ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlander Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Agreed, tapeworm. The 'grass seed' on the fur is probably fly blow. This time of year if we leave rabbits in the back of the truck overnight (to cool off) by early morning the flies have had breakfast.
