Subject: PLEASE help a sickly bunny!!

My bunny is 8 years old now. She has, up until recently, been a fat, healthy house rabbit. But now she doesnt use her litter box (because it seems that she is "afraid?" of the aspen.), wobbles, stumbles, trips and falls... I'm afraid that something is seriously wrong with her. Her complete symptoms are:
Weak, and unstable, inbalanced hind leg.
Trouble sitting (due to this leg)
Mucussy eyes (not sure if its related)
Weight loss
Dissinterest in favorite treats and foods

She doesnt eat her carrot any more, doesnt eat her favorite treats, stopped using her litter box, and the biggest problem is her trouble sitting. Her right hind leg has recently been acting very oddly. She never roams the rest of the house anymore, just sits in one spot in the hallway all day. Whenever she gets up, she has trouble on that right leg. It seems to be doing this lifting and lowering repeatedly before she finaly sits down. Either that, or she stretches it out way in front of her (like when she goes to clean her toes) several many times before finally sitting on it. Then gets up. Then sits on it again. She's having a lot of trouble with this, and whenever she walks (which isnt far) she wobbles, trips and stumbles. Often she'll come to me, and stumble, lean her head up against my leg, then push herself against me to gain balance.

Last night, i felt like everything was hopeless.... This has been going on for a few weeks now, but last night I couldnt stop crying. I hate seeing her this way. She was always healthy, and is now getting worse and worse... I dont know what happened, i dont know what to do, but won't someone please help me! We can't afford a vet, and it traumatizes her too much. (last time, she was so traumatized that she stopped eating and pooping due to the stress, and the vet didnt know anything about rabbits. there are no rabbit vets nearby.)
