Answer
Hi Bethany

The poor little bun!

Sadly there's not a lot we can do for wildies with obvious injuries. If he made it through the night the kindest thing you can do is call around the wildlife places again or go to your nearest vet and have the bun put to sleep. It's very difficult to repair breaks in wild rabbits, just being handled can kill them with stress. There is also a high chance there are internal injuries going on you can't see, dogs violently shake their prey when they catch them.

Sorry it's not a joyful answer, hope I've been of some help.
