Texas Parks and Wildlife Department officials provided notification of the positive results Tuesday, saying “this marks the 35th county in the state to have a confirmed wild detection since March 2020.”
Wild and domestic rabbit species are all susceptible to Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease, which can result in symptoms such as dullness/lethargy, lack of appetite, bleeding from the nose and eyes or watery, congested eyes, however most affected rabbits are commonly found deceased.
Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease is not known to affect humans, pets, or other animals, but pets should not consume dead animal carcass as a precaution.
“Domestic rabbit owners should practice proper biosecurity protocols and can reach out to their veterinarian to discuss vaccination,” a press release from the Texas Department of Wildlife advises.
Hunters are advised to dispose of any rabbit parts not intended for consumption in a dumpster destined for a landfill. The virus can remain on carcasses for many months.
