Just remember bunnies will hide their illnesses. So just because he's eating and drinking and running around doesn't necessarily mean he's over his tummy troubles. Please do get the things the others have recommended in this thread and treat him with them.
Also, you should consider putting together a bunny emergency/first aid kit:
-canned pumpkin (with no additives) or unsweetened fruit/vegetable baby food (pumpkin is preferred because it's high in fibre)
-Oxbow's Critical Care (or similar product)
-unsweetened liquid or powdered Pedialyte
-several syringes of varying sizes (1cc, 3cc, 10cc)
-Ovol simethicone drops (or similar product)
-Prozyme or chewable papaya enzyme tablets (preferably with bromelain)
-Bene-Bac (or similar product) or powdered acidophilus or children's chewable acidophilus
-plastic thermometer (preferably digital)
-KY jelly (or similar product) for the thermometer.
-styptic pencil, styptic powder or corn starch
-pet carrier
-eye wash or saline solution and eye dropper
-Bag Balm (or similar product)
-sterile gauze, cotton squares and vet wrap
-scissors
-tweezers
-Betadine disinfectant (or similar product)
-Polysporin antibiotic ointment (or similar product)
-ice pack
-heating pad or rice sock
-soft towel (for making a "bunny burrito")
-stethoscope for listening to stomach sounds (optional)
-otoscope for looking in ears, mouth, etc. (optional)
Hope that helps!
