Besides the first paragraph did you actually read
any of it? Before flaming Stix, go back and have a second look; all but the very first paragraph is information pulled straight out of white papers?
LITERALLY 90% OF IT IS STRAIGHT FACTS, ZERO ANECDOTES. I'm so confused... Please, do me a favour and read the
entire article (it's not long). Then you may find the answers that you seek.
Anyway this is not the place to be critiquing someone's blog; sorry OP didn't mean to hijack, I was just trying to point Johnboy in a direction (who wanted to know a bit more about eating rabbits)...
Hey in2anity...mate maybe ive come across the wrong way, & if so i can assure you that insulting your efforts was not my intention mate...
I have read the entire thing 3 times before i posted above, so its too late for me to read it a second time as you suggest.
And your reply poses a rhitorical question for me, that being if 90% of the information is straight fact, what is the other 10%...?... (as i said, thats a rhitorical question)...
Im not being (dont mean to be) critical at all, infact i admire & applaud what you've done, im just after more indepth info...more specifically related to very early visible signs of calici virus...
So before accusing me of "flaming", maybe give consideration to making an effort to confirming if thats what im actually doing...
So--calici virus diagnosis--Sure, check out the organs, thats an obvious given, but if one is super dilligent, then one would never eat wild rabbit...(& if i were to be critical, it could be said that is the summary of your blog).
Whilst ive not searched absolutely exhaustively, i cannot find any more detailed info than what you have stated, & yet im sure its out there somewhere...
Maybe you can a answer for me if the following bunnies specifically have calici virus...(i dont expect you to have a doctorate in biology, but maybe/hopefully in your research you have seen & learned of the finer visual signs of early infection).
These are (were) seemingly perfectly healthy bunnies when picked up--nothing apparently wrong with fur, weight, eyes etc (that is from my nearly 40 yrs experience of shooting & dressing them out)...

Im keen to hear your thoughts on what you can see, & if any of your diagnosis is calici virus related...
Cheers
