hello!

I think my bunny had a stroke, because he couldn't stand and his left side seems weak (also his left ear dropped for few days)

he is around 6 years old, is he that old?

is there anything I could do to revive him?
 
You need to take your rabbit to a rabbit savvy vet to be checked. It's possible your rabbit has an ear infection. A drooping ear and balance problems are signs of this, as can facial paralysis be. The infection may not be visible in the ear canal and xrays may be needed. A stroke is possible as well as are other neurological problems. If it was a stroke, there isn't much that can be done medically, besides supportive care and maybe some physical therapy.

Depending on the breed, for large breeds 6 is old, for medium to small breeds it would be considered middle age.

I found this listing for a rabbit vet in your country. I don't know if it's current or if they are close to you, but maybe your local vet could consult with them if you can't see them directly.
