AlisonM you are right I called a vet and they said it was very rare for a rabbit to get tuberculosis but I looked up this I didn't find it on rabbits but it did say how a animal may get it. it seems to be farm related
Bovine TB,
The most common way for bovine tuberculosis to travel is through breathing. Droplets containing the bacteria can be exhaled by infected animals and inhaled by animals and humans. Livestock and other animals can infect each other, also, by drinking from the same water or eating from the same food source.
Humans and animals alike can contract TB by drinking unpasteurized cow's milk if the cow is infected. The disease can also be contracted by eating undercooked meat from infected animals. Of all animals, dogs are the most likely to get TB - usually by eating carcasses of infected animals. Rarely do horses and cats contract TB but they can, especially when kept on a farm, or in a barn, with infected animals.
Symptoms of bovine tuberculosis, include weight loss and a general decline of good health. Shortness of breath or coughing can also signal the disease. Some animals will show no symptoms at all.
I found this, don't know if anyone is interested or if youn have this over there I would think so, but you don't have Rabies.
JUst a thought.
