Answer
Dear Regina,

DO NOT seek advice on the internet when there is such an obvious emergency!!!  Get this bunny to a good rabbit vet NOW:

www.rabbit.org/vets

Insist that your parents take you, as the bunny will die without proper veterinary attention.

PLEASE get the bunny to the vet NOW, before it is too late.
