Can dogs eat birds with fowl pox?

Yes, it won't transmit to rabbits - the species are too unrelated. My sincere condolences on the wet pox, you did the right thing putting them down.

I will hope for the best that your separation successfully quarantines the seemingly uninfected birds. Give it a few months, if you can, before they re-enter the old area. And give serious consideration to a complete clean out of run and bedding.

That's all I've got. Thankfully, have never faced pox on my property, but wild turkey wander thru, I've ducks and chickens, numerous nearby ponds - and *once* thought I had an exposure. MUCH reading later, its the only poultry disease I feel I have some working knowledge of. Just (thankfully) no direct experience.

Ok. I'll let grass grow in the pen and put meat rabbits in there then. Thank you for your help! At least if this happens again I'll be more prepared!
