Humans can also get Tularemia from rabbits. Tularemia is found in Minnesota, but luckily there have only been 5 reported cases in the last 10 years. A patient with Tularemia will exhibit flu like symptoms including poor appetite, fever and enlarged lymph nodes.
Rabbits can also carry the Plague! Yes, the same bubonic plaque that wiped out 30 to 50 percent of the population of Europe in the 14th century thus causing a massive labor shortage and changing the economic and political structure of modern societies permanently!
Luckily, there has never been a reported case of plague in humans in Minnesota. The nearest human plague case was in Illinois. Plague is still present, however, in the lower western United States.

My Siberian husky killed a rabbit today or even tonight outside in his living quarters.
The rabbit was still in tact however, his insides was gone. My 4 year old Cockapoo devoured the inside of a baby rabbit today. I was upset for the rabbit and felt real displeasure for my dog. All is back to normal now! Oh man, I have a killer combination that bothers me to no end. An insurmountable rabbit population, a lethal cat and a Husky with an insatiable appetite for rabbit. I hate this vicious cycle of life. Neither dog cares for the mice or rats the cat brings back, but the husky will also eat the chipmunks.
Not sick yet, but at 2. My Yorkie ate a rabbit in the back yard last night. My lap dog just killed 4 bunnies, and ate one entirely. She sleeps with me. I am sure that is why he got the runs. Went on antibiotic and now everything is fine but he found a egg baby rabbit and I caught him and threw it out but he was going to eat it. My Lab just ate 2 small bunnies this morning. He tried to get more. I am not too worried about it. Dogs would be eating stuff like this if they were in the wild.
My first Lab used to kill and eat snakes which scared me since we do have poisonous snakes in the area. She also used to kill ground hogs and cats that came into the yard. I always caught her when she got into a ground hog or cat because I would here her growling and the cat screaming. Cat owners beware if your missing your cat. Labradors love them for snacks. She was good for a couple cats every summer and she lived until she was That is a lot of cats.
My Rohdesian Ridgeback, Pearl, lives to chase and hunt rabbits! Pearl is 15 months old and has yet to my knowledge caught one.
Wonderful article since J know that I cannot prevent them inevitable. Her desire to get a rabbit is tooo strong. Blessings everyone. A hawk dropped a dead rabbit into our back yard and my Boston Terrier brought the carcass into to the house. She tore the belly open, ate a little but much preferred tearing off a hind leg and bringing that into the living room to chew on in her favorite easy chair.
Oh the horror. My other three dogs, another Boston, a Corgi and a Pit Bull totally ignored it. My husband is now calling her Hannibal Lecter. My jack russell just killed his 2nd rabbit. I was able to get him to drop the first one before demolishing but not this one. It was horrific to me but I know its natural. Glad for this website to help me know what to watch for. My Jack Russell did the same thing this morning. I thought he was just going to play with the first one and then it got away.
The next one which may have been the same one he killed. I found him out in my garden lying on it. When I went to try to take it from him he picked it up and ran into the house. I thought that would be easier to get it away from him but sadly I was wrong!
Let him cook a bit outside in the heat! I was very put out with him and not ready to be nice. And I am still not ready!! Horrific to see your little buddy murder a lovely tiny life and eat it. I feel very sad. Am I being silly? Guess I will give it time!! I kept calling my pom chi and finding her running from the bushes. I thought she was hiding a bone from my younger all chihuahua.
