Sounds just like e.cuniculi parasite, common in rabbits. Doesn't sound like rabies to me. Cuniculi causes a peculiar head tilt and falling over, loss of balance, spasms. My friend's outdoor cat caught it last year and even though she recovered the poor cat has a permanent head tilt now. I have another friend with an outdoor cat with a weird tilted head and my friend said she thought the cat had been struck by lightning (yeah right) but I am pretty sure it was the work of the very same rabbit parasite. Here's where you can read up on it
Call your vet for more info, I bet they've treated cats with it, though treating a wild rabbit doesn't seem practical.
