If a vaccinated dog kills a rabbit, but doesn't eat it can you eat the rabbit safely without catching anything?

My neighbor's dog bit my rabbits but he didn't eat them and it has been 15 hours since that happen If a vaccinated dog kills a rabbit, but doesn't eat it can you eat the rabbit safely without catching anything?
The rabbit could still have something not from the dog, so no.If a vaccinated dog kills a rabbit, but doesn't eat it can you eat the rabbit safely without catching anything?
If you're reasonably sure the animal wasn't poisoned, it's ok to eat but not after 15 hours---there's tissue breakdown by then and any fecal matter may contaminate the meat in the lower body section.





Rabbits carry parasites, but cooking eliminates that worry. You would need to know how to properly skin and gut the rabbit, so you don't contaminate the meat portion with bladder, intestine or rectum materials. Puncturing the organs is dangerous for putting bacteria on the meat. Though if you WANT you can find youtube hunting videos on how to dress out meat.
Depends how cold it was. When someone kills a deer, if you can't find it at night time. You can search for it again during the day and its still eatable because the lows was around the 20's.





But a bullet is cleaner then a dog saliva, so if you do eat it. Make sure you cook it really good.





Edit: To the people that said ';EW'; I would rather eat (or let some other animal eat ) an animal so it life met nourishment for another being. Rather then let it die an meaningless death.
There are a number of zoonotic diseases that can be contracted in this manner. Cooking the rabbit will kill many pathogens but there are other ones that can not be killed by heat. If the rabbit was a domestic pet the chances of getting a viral infection like rabies are slim to none. Most of the other diseases need a vector( such as ticks) to be transmitted.
well, no. there should be nothing wrong with it to be honsest, just the thought of it is kinda disconcerting.





though i wouldnt eat the part directly bitten, there is ALOT of bacteria in dog's mouths.





fun fact: excluding poisonous bites, human bites are of the most infectious.
yes you can eat it as long as it has not been sitting out for 15 dead hours. you have to make sure you cook it though. put it on the grill to cook it because they are greasy, but are so good on the grill.
Wow..you should bury it. not eat it. it was your pet and you want to eat it? yeah that is disgusting and you could get a disease.
If the rabbit has been left unfrozen for 15 hours I'd say that would be a health risk in itself, not to mention the icky factor of dog saliva.
I would not eat something another animal killed
Yeah, I'd say its fine, I ate my cat just last week.


Tasted alright to me, it was also killed by a vaccinated dog.
omg who eats their pets that is discusting.
ew your sick
that's actually disgusting. you shouldn't be allowed to even have pets.
