    Question White spots in rabbit lungs

    G'day,

    I was out hunting last night and got a few rabbits. All of the ones that were shot had white spots in the lungs - looked to be pure white, not yellowing.
    There were a ton of them too. The lungs looked healthy apart from these spots. No other obvious issues with any of the other organs.
    I think that it might be a bacterial infection - perhaps.

    Anyone have a better idea what it might be?


    Cheers,
    Kumoe.

    If in doubt, chuck it out. I can't say what it might be but I'd not eat or feed dogs to be safe

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    On a side note, shot a deer last weekend and it had small white spots on the liver, maybe 6 of them. What's that?

    Hepatic coccidiosis
    The liver form of coccidiosis affects rabbits of all ages. It is characterized by listlessness, thirst, enlarge, and wasting of the back and hindquarters, with enlargement of the abdomen. On abdominal X-rays, the liver and liver and gall bladder appear enlarged.
    This form of coccidiosis runs either as a chronic course during several weeks, or it ends in death within 10 days, preceded by coma and sometimes diarrhea.
    At necropsy, liver, gall bladder and bile duct are distended and enlarged. White nodules cover the surface of the liver. The protozoa can be found in the liver and biliary ducts.

    Sorry - specified that the only abnormality was in the lungs. No other issues.
    I'll take a photo next time I'm there, if the lungs are an issue.
