If your rabbit is dying and you don't know why, bring it immediately to a vet who has experience and knowledge in treating rabbits. Even if the rabbit has died, the vet can figure out what happened. You can also find help from people on online rabbit forums. See the related questions below for more information and helpful links.

Well take the bunny in if its mum isn't coming back, then you place it in a hutch somewhere very mild and just the right temperature. Next you will have to get tonnes of lettuce, celery, broccoli, and other veggies out, (BUT NO CARROT!) because being a wild rabbit it has never tasted rabbit food.

Get a lot of grass and hay from your back yard or somewhere, and place it down on the cage floor. Get a large water container, (NOT water bottle, a bowl or a clear plastic feeder should do it.) This should take care of comfort measures and food and drink.

Now, get a litter box and a rabbit house to put into the hutch. That takes care of that!

Now, wild rabbits are harder to keep clean then pet rabbits, so buy a rabbit brush, rabbit shampoo, and very, VERY mild water to put the rabbit into when its washing.

Also, rabbits need to keep there teeth sharp or they will get sick, so buy then a wooden toy to chew on. Now keep them occupied, pet them regularly, (Dont pet them at first you get them, wait until they know you and like you, and then you can try to pet them, VERY carefully.) keep them just the right temperature, and take them to the vet when they are sick, and they should get better. When they are old enough set them free, for they are not pet rabbits. Also if you do take one in for help, be warned that it might not survive. Death chances are at least 70 out of 100. So be VERY responsible and careful.

If you have gotten the rabbit from a Humane Society, you tell them. Otherwise you should just go ahead and buried or burn it. A little coffin cant hurt.

In addition:

You could also try taking it to a veterinarian.
