My dog attacked a wild baby bunny and injured its leg. What to do?

Question

My dog got ahold of a small bunny. It is probably just leaving the nest. He hurt one of the back legs. What can I do?

If you think the leg is hurt and needs medical care, you can call local vets for the name of an organization or wildlife rehabber that can take care of it. If you think it might be okay, it would be best to put it back near the nest so the mom can come back for it (even if the bunny is covered in dog saliva, the mom will still come back for it).
