Rabbit nest in yard

Hi, my dogs found a nest of baby bunnies today and my girl dog pulled a baby from the nest. I got the baby from her mouth and it looked injured. Yes I seen a drop of blood on the baby rabbit. I removed my dogs from the area and used some paper towels to pick up the injured rabbit and placed it back in the nest and covered the nest with the fur and grass that the mother had put there. I’m concerned that the baby injured bunny will not live. My question is should I go back and remove the injured/passed bunny from the nest or should I just leave it alone now? What will the mommy bunny do? I called my local vet and was told it’s probably not going to survive and there’s really nothing that can be done. The babies have fur but their eyes are not open yet. Thanks
