        2 1/2 weeks ago my cat brought up a day old cottontail. I had no expectations of it living more than a day or two, but here we are at almost 3 weeks and she was doing good until a day or so ago. Her poop kept getting smaller and lighter in color and as of yesterday I haven’t seen any at all. In the last day she has refused to eat more than 3/4 – 1 ml. If that much. She’s limping on her front paw and making a weird noise when she moves her mouth. She still seems pretty active….trying to get out of the cage I have her in, moving around, etc. I’m just really worried about her. On top of that, a friend of my husband just brought 2 more 1-2 day old bunnies that his mother in law’s dog brought up. I am in Mountain View, Arkansas if anyone knows anyone in my area with more expertise, I really need to get them to them. 



        Please help!!!

          Sadly can’t be of much help. Isn’t there any governative or private association that cares for wild animals/found animals in your area?

            I don’t know anything about caring for wild rabbits either but definitely look up local veterinarians and animal hospitals in your area. They may be able to take them but, if not, they should have information about wildlife care in your area.

            Here is a list of volunteer animal rehabilitators in Arkansas: http://www.agfc.com/species/Documents/rehabilitators_by_county.pdf

            I hope someone is close to you.

              I found this Facebook group. http://www.facebook.com/ArkansasCritterConnection/
              You could ask if they know of anyone closer to you. There was another groups page I saw but it doesn’t appear to be active anymore.
              I hope you can find someone experienced to help!
