Is this baby bunny paralyzed?

Tonight my cat caught a baby bunny. It looks to only be a few weeks old and is small enought to fit in the palm of your hand. The bunny does not appear to have any puncture wounds. We gave it warm milk and honey and it ate it without problem. However, it cannot seem to move or sit up. We try to sit it up and it may attempt to move, but falls over on its right sides and just lays there. Its right front paw seems to be hurt because it has a problem putting pressure on it and using it to move. Also the back legs seem to have no feeling. We tried to move them, but did not get a response from the bunny. When it tries to move it does not use its back legs and looks almost like it tries to drag itself. Is the bunny paralyzed or maybe just experiencing shock after being attacked? We are taking it to a vet tomorrow to have it looked at. It doesnt seemed to have suffered any injuries except the front right paw, but I am worried about the back legs if it wil not use them. Please help and thanks for any info.
