Hi,
Did your rabbit Snowflake start eating again? If he is still not right, he needs his teeth checked first and foremost. Spurs on the cheek teeth or overgrown incisors are the most common cause of appetite loss in rabbits. Once that is ruled out you can start looking at infections etc.
Hope he is OK
