Hello everyone, I posted a question this past summer about a growth that was on a few of my bunnies. After much discussion and research, I concluded that it was Shope Fibroma that was passed on from mosquitoes. After a few weeks, the growth they had disappeared (it was on their noses). I'm thinking everything was fine, but one of my bunnies that had SF was nursing her kit at that time. Since then, I had butchered two of her babies (about 3-4 months old) and I noticed that each one had a gray,blackish growth on their liver. I didn't eat the meat because I wasn't sure what was the cause and I was concerned about it.
Do you think this growth is from SF? Do you think they got SF from nursing from their momma? What do you think would have cause this growth and would the rabbit still be safe to consume by humans?
BTW, I was soaking the butchered rabbit in salty water and step out for a minute and our German Shepherd stole them. (He got a scolding...he knows better) and the meat didn't make him sick.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Joe
