Question
my bunny has diarrhea for over a week now and he's not moving at all. He's
losing a lot of fur and hes not eating anything or drinking. Wat do I do ?

Answer
This is very, very serious.  You need to get your rabbit to a rabbit saavy vet asap.  The condition your rabbit is in could result in death.  This is an emergency situation for your rabbit.

If you don't have a rabbit experienced vet, you can find some lists here:

It sounds like your rabbit has been going through some gi (intestinal) problem.  I'm not sure about the fur loss, it's possible your rabbit is also going through a major coat blow at the same time.

The highest priority is getting your rabbit to a vet, and letting the vet determine the solution of the problem.
