Yeah that medication decreases their appetite . Is your rabbit drinking water ?

It has been documented that gabapentin can cause decreased appetite in rabbits. So even though he is probably feeling better, the medication could be contributing to him not wanting to eat as much.

Is your bunny leaving cecotropes behind that would have normally been eaten? That could explain the smelly poop. If this is a mobility/unable to clean himself issue, then I would definitely talk to his vet again. This could be a pain-related response. There could be an infection, for example.

I’m sorry this happened to your bun.

This is not normal. A young buck typically bounces back really quickly after a neuter.
