Broken Legs

Question
I recently found a wild adult rabbit in front of my house with both back legs broken and some road rash on its side. It obviously was hit by a car, and was in shock for the first night. I put it in a cage and fed it and gave it water and warm towels. Its now 3 days later , and i can tell its getting a lot better, but its legs are still broken and it cannot walk. What should i do?

Answer
The only thing you can do at this point in time is to take it to the vet or to a wild life rehab center, this is going to be the only people and/or place that you will be able to find help for the rabbit.  

I suggest calling a local vet and telling them your situation and finding out what they suggest.

Good Luck
