I have a 6 year old male dutch rabbit. He is usually very calm and likes to play but since 2 days ago he has been sitting in his cage all day and not being his usual self. This morning he peed inside his cage which is new since he usually uses his litterbox. He has also been making very soft poops all day (with the exception of a few). This morning his pee was a light yellow but he just peed inside his cage again and its a thick darkish yellow/orange. He has swelling around his genital area but has been eating and drinking water normally. Is this an emergency or can i schedule an appointment with the vet for next week?

He needs to get to a vet ASAP! It sounds like he also has Gi-stasis, here is a link on that: Gastrointestinal Stasis: The Silent Killer | House Rabbit Society. @Blue eyes will be able to help you more than me.

I would take him in sooner than later. The longer you prolong the diagnosis, the more severe the condition might get.
The area is pretty wet...it could possibly be UTI.
