I dunno whether to mark this NSFW or not but do your worst.

    A rabbit necropsy that the vet did while I was on shift. I’ve been around numerous dog necropsies, but that was my first rabbit.

    I almost went home, the smell was so horrific. Smells don’t usually make me vomit, but that one did.

    Never again, I hope.

      Was it because of whatever killed the rabbit or does dead rabbit just stink? I’ve eaten the meat before and I know it’s a bit gamey, but I wasn’t involved in the prep of the uncooked meat. I figured as a herbivore it wouldn’t be that stinky?

        It just stinks, and I’m not sure why that is. The vet said that they always have an awful smell.

        In comparison, I didn’t even notice when we’d do a necropolis on a dog or a cat. It’s that bad

          Given they’re poo factories, I wonder if the rapid processing of food means that their organs and stomach acid etc is more hard core?

            Maybe? I was just a receptionist, so I don’t know much about it, but that sounds legitimate enough to me, so let’s go with it.
