Is the bloathing caused by gas, then you can give baby gas drops the active substans/ what it’s made of it’s called simethicone. After that you can massage the stomach and try to make him move around.

If not caused by gas it can be worms or blockage. Which you handle a bit the same with tummy massage and different medication. Which a vet can decide. Now I just mentioned the common causes that might cause bloating stomach.
 
What do you normally feed your rabbit? It would be good to make sure he has hay- and if you don't have hay find some grass for him.

Also, if your rabbit is 6 years old I don't believe you should feed him milk.

The protocol for vets in the US is give the electrolyte solution- pedialyte for children to hydrate them. You can find recipes online and make electrolyte solution yourself too. If you have syringe a tablespoon - 15ml of electrolytes up to 30ml a day.

In the US they also have a product called Critical Care- it can be mixed with water and fed through a syringe. If you can't buy that then you can try grinding rabbit pellets up and mixing with water. You could also syringe something like cooked pumpkin banana apple babyfood.
