Question
warble
2 nights ago the motion sensor light came on in my back yard. I saw a bunny, and then I saw it was moving around in an odd fashion, falling over, hopping in circles. I went and put a towel over it and put it in a pet carrier. This yard is for my inside dogs and I did not want them getting it. I figured the rabbit would die overnight. It was very thin. The next day (yesterday) it was still alive. I discovered it had a warble. I was able to remove it. It was huge. The bunny is unable to sit up, will thrash around and roll itself over and over if disturbed. I had to move the carrier into a shed because ants were getting on the bunny. I syringed it some water with a slight amount of locally grown honey mixed in. It will drink from the syringe. I thought about rabies, I am not touching the bunny, though I did clean the hole from the warble. I had hoped it would pass last night but it is still with me. I don't have money for a vet, don't know what I should do. Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Kathy

AnswerDear Kathy,
This bunny's only chance for survival is to be cared for by a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. My instructions have all the contact information for a case like this, but here it is again. Find a wildlife rehabber here:

The bunny is very unlikely to have rabies (rabbits bitten by a rabid animal rarely live to tell the tale), but he obviously needs immediate medical attention. Please get him to a rehapper pronto, to save his life, or at least have someone who can provide humane euthanasia if he is too far gone to save.
I hope this helps.
