No, you should never feed raw wild rabbit to your dog. While cooked rabbit is a safe and common novel protein, raw wild game carries a high risk of parasites like tapeworms and bacterial diseases such as tularemia. These can make your dog very sick. For safety, any rabbit meat should be thoroughly cooked to kill pathogens before offering it to your dog as an occasional plain treat, without any seasonings, bones, or skin.
