So I have frozen in my freezer, meat from a doe that had health problems. But I'm unsure what exactly was wrong with the doe, if anything serious. Here's what I know:
The doe's vent had pimples/sores and was bright red. Red-red. She was unwilling to breed for as long as I had her.
Her breathing sounded a little wet for the first couple weeks after I got her. She drank twice as much water as any other rabbit. She was also the only rabbit whose hutch had a markedly offensive odor.
She had very buggy eyes, and eyelids that didn't look very healthy.
I got her from a colony style rabbitry. The breeder I got her from seemed to have some significant management issues with their rabbitry, and in hindsight I suspect that some of the rabbits living in the colony had untreated diseases. I'll need to be more careful about inspections next time I'm in the market for a new rabbit.
Was there anything actually wrong with my doe? If it had a disease, will it affect the safety of the meat?
