I need some advice.

A bunny got caught in our electric fence (friday morning around 3 am):(

Mark got it out and thought it was going to be ok, but when I got up in the morning it was still sitting in the same place where he left it, so I went out and picked it up and brought it in the house.
I thought for sure it was going to die but unbelievably it is still alive.
Last night I gave it a piece of raw spinich and sometime durning the night it ate it. Also it pooed and peed.
I don't know what happened, but it can't really raise it's head. I don't think it's broke, but I just don't know what to do.

Can anyone give me any advice?

You could always call your vet. Most vets will accept wildlife free of charge. They will nurse them back to health and release them, if possible. I hope you figure out something to do :(

Thanks Ash.

I called the vet, but they don't take wildlife. But they did let me know about a nature center not too far away from here. So we will take him/her there.

I sure hope there is something they can do for it. Wish us luck.

Anna,

It sounds like the bunny may have some nerve damage from
the electric fence.Probably got a real shock. I do hope the folks
at the nature center can help him/her. Could you let us know
what happens? Best of luck with the bunny. :)

Poor bunny, poor you! Hope the wildlife folks can help, and that there's no permanent damage.

Well, I called today to check on him, but they say he didn't even make it through the night Saturday:(
She said it may have been a spinal cord injury the way his neck was. I'm just glad he's in a better place now.
Thanks everyone for being concerned:)
