I rescued a baby wildie last night.
We were on the way to shopping and seen a crow dragging a baby wildie across the road, but the baby was trying to hop away, hubby was driving so I beeped the horn trying to get the crow to leave bunny alone (who was putting up such a good fight, it was fine apart from the crow attack). We had cars behind us so hubby couldn't stop but by this point I was screaming hysterically that I cant just leave it, so hubby (hes so good) turned round and when we got there, the crow had dragged baby all the way over and he was giving up hubby stopped and I jumped out and ran to it, at which point the crow nipped REALLY hard but I chased the crow and the bunny was on his side, but was trying to get up, so I scooped him up in my jumper, but I seen he'd broke his leg but I couldn't leave him there, so we raced to vet.
On the way, he sat up and was moving apart from one leg (which was clearly badly broken) I think a car may have knocked it when the crow was dragging, he certainly didn't have a broken leg when we first seen it... I could see we were losing him in the car tho, his eye started to 'glaze over' but he was breathing, but slowly I was rubbing him to stimulate him to breath.
We got to vet and they said the kindest thing was probably going to be to pts because of his leg. I feel so bad but at least he didn't get pecked to death
He was tiny. his ear was ripped from the crow attack
RIP Wildie xx
