Iowans Asked to Watch For Rare Rabbit Disease

(Undated)  The Iowa D-N-R is asking everyone to be on the lookout for rabbit hemorrhagic disease.  The disease quickly kills domestic and wild rabbits and is confirmed in two states that border Iowa and D-N-R officials are asking Iowans to be vigilant for signs it’s arrived here.  State wildlife veterinarian Rachel Ruden says if you spot one or several dead rabbits, don’t touch them — but instead call the D-N-R.  Doctor Ruden says domestic rabbits are also very susceptible to this disease.
