Post WW might be dying, no reputable vet open. Help please!

I have a 2.5yo russian dwarf called indra. Hes been getting older, slower, lighter etc. but has still been runnning around with little issue.

Yesterday he fell off of sth 2cm high, which he could climb with no prob.
Then he was crawling very disoriented and suddenly just laid down and couldnt get back up. This was in his food/running cage.

He kept his eyes closed, gave little response when we moved him to a woolen sweater in another cage. He has been sleeping since then, with his head tucked under his body. Yesterday he didnt want to eat, nor could he move. He turned around a few times to get comfey and opened his eyes/gave a little head nudge when we checked on him, but not much more.

Around 2AM we finally got him to eat some cucumber and drink from a spoon. Then he spent the night in the sweater.

This morning he was very unresponsive, had 2 bites of egg and about an hour later he crawled to his house! After that he had some more egg and started crawling all over the cage for about 10mins, looking for food and crawling under the sweater. He is back in his house fast asleep.

There is only one emergency vet open, that is very incompetent, unpleasant, didnt want to listen to the simptoms and kept on insisting 'hybernation' even though its been 20°C inside with plenty of light. They have terrible revieuws and people have had to ''steal'' their pet and run away, after being called animal abusers, only for their pet to completely recover and narrowly avoid euthanasia.

does this seem familiar to anyone?
