    Call an emergency vet, they'll tell you what to look for and what to do, is it a wild bunny?

    Yes, it's wild; I just found it outside. It's a little brown rabbit.

    If it's eyes are open it's probably eating. put some grass in with it and see if it's eating. Clean the wounds out good and put some ointment on them. when it's healed up after a few days let it go. Thats the best thing to do.

    I would contact a local Wildlife Rehabilitator. They will know exactly what to do, and they are more prepared to care for the bunny properly, as well as release it once it is healthy again. You can find them listed in the phone book, or by contacting your Local DEC office.
    Maggie,

    Many times your local vet will be able to give you the names and numbers of local wildlife rehabilitators as well. Do NOT take a wild animal into the vet's, they freak out, it puts their license at risk, not to mention their clients' health. Just all them.

    Most vets can take in small wildlife animals like bunnies and squirrels. It's larger animals like birds of pray and animals that are more likely to carry rabies (raccoons, foxes, etc.) that they usually don't take in. Most vets will take in small birds and small mammals at no charge. I would call your vet first thing, he may tell you to bring the bunny in or he may refer you to a wildlife rehab if there is one near you.

    Thanks guys, but the little baby died today around 4pm. I'm so upset; I really wanted him to be ok. I'm going to write about him in the pet memorial if you want to read any about him..
