Another check up and supportive/nutritional treatment is required immediately as these signs may be compatible with a severe gastrointestinal inflammation/ infection. Amoxycillin needs to be used cautiously as it could be contraindicated in rabbits. I would strongly advice to take him to your local veterinarian again today.
