Hi! My dog had been let out by accident by the children when I was not around and he disturbed a rabbit nest, I've been trying to read what to do and the sources I have found say to put the nest back together and place them back in. Unfortunately I cannot find any of the bedding or fur anywhere and one of the rabbits has a bite wound on it (it seems OK, but I am a little worried). As well as this, my dog was apparently out quite a while and the nest and bunnies must have been covered in his scent by then. What should I do?
 
Update: We took a closer look at the rabbits and one's leg is twisted 90 degrees to the side at it's kneecap.
 
You should definitely keep it since it's injured, or bring it to the vet/rescue services Incase you don't think you can help
