OP- It's tough to say. Rabbits have very sensitive skin, so it could be nothing, but it's always best to have a vet check to make sure. Is there really no way for you to take it to the vet? Just a checkup for a rabbit is usually $35-$45, at least in my area. It'll end up being much more expensive if you wait and have to take it in as an emergency.
The gooey poop is a little worrisome - what are you feeding him? Can you increase his fiber intake, maybe give him a little more timothy hay?

umm... no. My rabbits (I have three) have all gotten sick before, and recovered just fine. Although, I will admit you are right about most vets. The trick is to find a good rabbit vet in your area. If there is a house rabbit society near you (check www.rabbit.orgchapters/index.html), you can call and ask what vet they use. That's how I found my vet, and she is AWESOME. If there's not one on that list near you, check the yellow pages for vets that specifically say they treat exotics, not just cats and dogs.
