    I would say the rabbits main probem is someone shot it.

    We had a calf get coccidiosis, it was pooping out pieces of intestine lining. Vet suggested putting it down but it was a pet (treatment wasn't too costly, but lab tests for other causes were). We had been feeding meal with a coccidiostat in it but with a run of wet weather the calves had stopped eating the meal "soup". Apparently different strains affect different animals, but usually hits around weaning. Most animals build up an immunity without being too affected.
    I have found several dead young rabbits over the last few years, I might have to open one up and have a look next time. We had a group of 6 down the end of the drive a few weeks ago that seem to be down to 1 or 2 now.
