What's on this liver
« on: November 19, 2022, 07:32:03 PM »
Helped gut a deer today and snagged a liver and heart. Then I saw these white markings on the liver. Not sure that I have seen it before. Anyone know what it is and if I should avoid? Every liver I have ever touched was beautiful and uniform in color.

Possibly tularemia. That’s what it would be on a rabbit’s liver.

Tularemia would also be my guess.

I asked in a Facebook group and some suggest coccidiosis.  :dunno:  I'm cool not eating the liver but would hate to find out it's something that affects the meat too. Would hate to break it to the first time hunter that killed it if that was the case.

That’s not what cocci looks like on a rabbit’s liver. I’m far from an expert but we’ve done a few necropsies. Our vet science group had a rabbit that died of coccidiosis confirmed and it looks different.
