  due to urine scalding, vet kept him for hospotal and trimmed his butt and legs two days ago. since then, hes been really quiet and doesnt eat his dry food, but still up for water and fruits. hes been limping as well, is it because of the trimmed butt?

  It sounds like he needs to go back to the vet.
  
  Urine scald is normally caused by a urinary infection, as they can’t control their bladder and start peeing over their legs, which is consistent with you saying he’s lost his litter habits. Was he treated for any urine infections? Is this a specialist rabbit vet?
  
  He’s probably not eating because he’s in pain. Rabbits in pain don’t eat, so again, it’s important to get him to the vet to get him painkillers and get him eating again. It’s essential that you get him eating, or he’ll have a whole load of different issues.
  
  Do you give him hay? I notice you said he won’t eat dry food, but will eat fruit, but no mention of hay or veg.
