We Have A Baby Japanese Maple With Girdling. Can It Be Grafted On New Root Stock?

Question

The tree was planted in memory of our granddaughter, who died at only four days of age. We are kind of desperate to fix this little tree. It’s on our daughter’s lawn in Union, NJ. It gets partial sun. The tree leafed out very nicely this spring but recently my daughter noted that the leaves are wilting and curly. They tried increasing their watering regimen, but now we have seen that rabbits have eaten all around the bark. Any help you can give us is obviously very much appreciated.
