You could have taken the meat and frozen it until confirmation came that it was good or bad. I think i would have done the same as you given our limited freezer size and wifey on at me to clean it out of 18mth old sausage meat

Yep plus 1, I would have kept the meat and kidneys and taken the kidneys to a vet for examination/testing as far as diseases go you are pretty safe from most if cooked, poisons not so sure on?.

Although in saying that if there is a decent carry involved from a familiar area with no previous anomaly's I usually don't even gut the animal just take the meat.
