Call a vet for referral to a wildlife rehab specialist. My vet Cross Creek Anima Hospital keeps a list of rehabbers for various species. I've used them to locate rehabbers for squirrel and raccoon babies. I have a vague recollection that baby bunnies are hard to raise. Good luck.

I did speak with Helen later that afternoon. The baby rabbit didn't make it. She did have a wound on her belly (that Helen said showed after applying medication to cleanse). The vet said she would not make it even with closing the wound. They decided to put her down. She also said that the bunny was a cross breed of a domestic bunny and a wild bunny. So, unfortunately a family's bunny has gotten out and has started breeding with wild bunnies. We have looked and have not found any other bunnies near our house. Wild Life Center in Raleigh weren

Banfield at Petsmart and Academy Pet Hospital on Owen Dr, where I take my rabbit, will both see rabbits. I don't know if they will see wild bunnies though.

Sarah and Tim thank yoiu for youir feedback. The bunny is wild and we don't know where the cat got it from and we didn't want to just put it outside. Just got back from Petsmart and got kitty replacment milk. We are trying it. The web said they eat twice a day (wild rabbits). I am going to call Urgent Care and see if they know of a Wildlife Rehab near us. We are going to take it to the vet tomorrow. Thank you again.

If he makes it through the night try this recipe for formula. The people on this site on some of the top rabbit people in the country, they really know their stuff. http://www.rabbitsonline.net/view_topic.php?id=57630&forum_id=8

We just got back from meeting a representative from Second Chance Wildlife Rescue. She has little Bon Bon (Alexa named the little bunny). I gave her a donation--like The Haven, they operate strickly on donations. I will call tomorrow to see how Bon Bon is doing.
