I think I'll see how he is tomorrow and then see if I can find one somewhere, because of the bank holiday it may not arrive before I go away unfortunately if I order one.

Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

Could the Pet sitter do more than two daily visits ? My concern would be the risk of Rupert stopping eating due to pain and developing secondary gut stasis.

Sending vibes he will feel better with metacam before you need to leave him in care of the sitter.
Amazon prime?
Hope is paw is better very soon.

Yeah I could do that, just not sure how beneficial it will be, pet sitter will let me know of any concerns and get him to a vet if he stops eating.
He's no better but no worse today. Still eating, drinking and pooing normally but clearly favouring his leg.

Little update on Rupert, he seems a lot happier this morning, the limp is still there but he's more active. He was pulling up carpet at 6.30 this morning so he can't be feeling too bad! :lol:
I'm feeling a little better about the fact that we have to leave them tomorrow for a couple of days, just hoping he keeps getting better.

Oh, that's great that he seems a lot happier and was feeling up to mischief! 
I hope he'll keep improving while you're away.
