What do I do with these baby rabbits?

Our dog keeps finding baby rabbits. Have no idea where the nest could possibly be since we live in the country. The last one was probably a few days old. We fed it goats milk, then mixed a little egg in with it because that's what the recipes online said. It ate pretty good but stayed so skinny then died 8 days later. Now she has drug one up to the porch that looks like it's only a day old! Conservation didn't have andwers for me. The closest rescue doesn't take anything outside their county. So should I just feed this thing strait goat milk or something else? I don't want to just toss it out somewhere hoping the mother will find it. Because I'm sure the dog will find it first

My sister volunteers with our local wildlife rehabilitator. Baby bunnies are some of the hardest to keep alive. My sister used kitten milk replacement from tractor supply, and eventually added in some Timothy hay. I do know it’s really easy to accidentally overfeed them

With the last rabbit, I called around to those kind of places and petco as well to see if they had rabbit replacement milk. But they didn't. The recipe online said gosts milk mixed with a small drop of egg and corn syrup. What do you suggest? Should I just do the strait goat's milk?

@swandfriends I don’t feel like im qualified to give advice, but maybe look for kitten milk instead of rabbit milk? Good luck
