I was out with the dog yesterday for a walk along with my dad and his dogs when dads dog caught a rabbit he brought it back and dad let it go but my dog ran after it and caught it and brought it to me on closer inspection this time the young 3/4 grew rabbit had a bad dose of Maxi, I'd know it's around but as I don't like my dogs on rabbits I don't go near them if can help it, I hit the rabbit on the head with my fishin priest that was in my bag, I got a closer look then to see that the poor rabbit was in such a bad shape (before i hit it) it's eyes were almost closed with a lot of gooey stuff runnin out of them and one eye was all swollen out, it's a cruel disease for sure, I took my dog to the vet at lunch time to have him checked over as his tongue was bleedin from grass cuts 10 minutes after that rabbit was disposed of there was no damage to the rabbit by my dog but I was afraid of germs of the maxi still in or around his mouth,the vet gave him the all clear and flee'd & wormed him all for the bloody expensive price of £32 so it was an expensive walk yesterday but I it was honestly worth the £32 for the peace of mind as I wouldn't want to loose another dog,the vet reckons the maxi comes when's there's a large number of rabbits buildin up in one area and it kind of culls them back again.Has anyone else came across this terrible disease near you ?
