Baby cottontail with injuries from a dog

[Karen]

How does the wound look? Is it an open wound still? I am glad he is perking up, has he eaten anything?

I think he ate some grass last night. I don't think he has eaten yet today. His wound is has scabbed over and looks much better. I think the dog more tore his skin then punctured it. He has been taking water very nicely. Thanks for the help again!

It is good that the wound has scabbed over. If he seems lively enough, you could try releasing him, as he needs to eat - often, preferably, and maybe wants some other food!
