You need to get Tyrian to a vet ASAP and either find out what is wrong with him and get him treated or have him humanely euthanized. You cannot go on letting him suffer. This is terrible. I don't know what is wrong just based on him symptoms as they are too vague but they are very serious. The vet will need to examine him and then give you the options. You need a vet that is familiar with treating rabbits. I found these in your location; both within 10-15 minutes drive and they see rabbits.
