A bunch of the rats I have caught this year have got these yellow-ish blobs growing on their livers. At first I thought perhaps it was Tularemia, but then found a couple that had it really bad, where the yellow-ish blobs were all throughout the guts.
Doing some googling I found a couple pics that had the similar yellow-ish stuff on the liver, where it was suggested that these were tapeworm cysts. But none of the pics I saw had the blobs outside the liver, or to the extent of some of these rats.
Some of the rats with this seem to be in good shape, with lots of fat on the hide. Some have little to no fat to scrape off.
Has anyone else seen these blobs, or know what they could be?
This rat had it only on the liver:
This rat was a disaster inside:
Sorry if I gave ya the Heebie Jeebies!
