Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It does look like urine infection. Mochi most likely will need a course of antibiotics to get better. Please, take him to your regular vets today or tomorrow as the medications he needs are prescription-only. If you mange to collect a urine sample from the bottom of the cage that would be very useful. Typically urine test gives instant answer if a rabbit has cystitis, or if there is anything else to worry about.
