Answer
Dear Tina,

Please read this immediately:

www.bio.miami.edu/hare/sickbun.html

so you'll know what to do if the bunny is so sick that this could be a veterinary emergecy (e.g., if his temperature is abnormally high or abnormally low).  I'm not sure what you mean by a loss of balance, since this can signify either an inner ear infection, E. cuniculi, or hind limb paresis, depending on the presentation of symptoms/signs in the rabbit.

If the bunny appears to be falling over and/or has a head tilt, please read:

www.rabbit.org/health/tilt.html

and

www.bio.miami.edu/hare/tilt.html

If the bunny appears weak in the hindquarters, and is unable to stand because of that, please read:

www.bio.miami.edu/hare/paresis.html

Those will help you narrow down what might be wrong.  But please get the bunny to a good rabbit vet ASAP:

I hope this helps.
