Debra,

Patches must eat, even if you syringe feed him.  I can't believe your vet 
didn't have any suggestions.  Get a large syringe, either from a pet supply 
store 
or your vet.  Cut off the tip and place in the tip in a flame (like from a 
lighter) to smooth the edges.  Make a gruel of mashed pellets, baby food 
(carrots, squash, green beans, etc.) and 1/4 tablet crushed vitamin C and feed 
your 
little baby.  Is your vet an exotic vet?  Many of the vets on the House Rabbit 
Society list also see piggies - you might want to check the list at 
http://www.rabbit.org/care/vets.html

These little guys go downhill quickly.  Start the syringe feeding tonight if 
possible.
