Answer
Hi,

you give hardly any information, it can be a lot of things.  My suggestion to you is to give him water (via a plastic dropper, very carefully and slowly) and get him to a good rabbit vet or emergency vet immediately.  He is in critical shape.  If he feels hot and his ears are hot, wrap a cold pak in a clean dishtowel and let him rest on or next to it.  If he feels cold wrap up some clean soft cotton towels in the carrier and snug him into them, and get to the vet/emergency vet now.

Let the vets know about the diarrhea and weakness - call them and tell them you are coming in with a rabbit in critical condition so they can prepare for you.

Don't wait.
