Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Your bunny looks very very sick. I recommend having your bunny to a vet right away. It could have many different disease processes, however I am worried that your bunny might be dying. Please bring it to a vet right away for treatment/care, or humane euthanasia. Best of luck with Dhoni.
