Inside my bunny I can feel this organ thing on his left side only. When he eats, it gets harder. Is that his stomach?

It isn't his stomach. You can't feel the stomach, it's under the liver and partially covered by the intestines. What you may be feeling is the pancreas or spleen. In either case, an inflamed organ is not a good sign. It isn't going to kill your rabbit any time soon but try taking the rabbit to a vet to get it checked out and maybe get some medicine to reduce the swelling. Good luck. I hope this helps.

Your description is very vague. Does it feel like it is near the surface of the hide or deeper inside? If it feels like it is deeper inside and your rabbit is eating ok, then your rabbit is probably ok.
If however it feels like it is near the surface it could be a number of other things, such as:
1.) an abscess
2.) a hernia
3.) a bot fly larvae
4.) a place where another rabbit has bitten him
None of those are life threatening in the short term, but it probably would be a good idea to take your rabbit to the vet to get it checked out.

My pit mixture Dexter replaced right into a former bait/combat canines that I rescued and rehabilitated... he has very distinctive scars and an ungainly gate that i could know at present. My Rhodesian Ridgeback mixture Dio has had some intense hypersensitive reaction and pores and skin themes so he's lacking some fur on the below facet of his neck and the black around his eyes makes him look like he's have been given Egyptian eye makeup on. My dachshund Ryder is a black/tan short hair with a white patch on his chest, and his front paws have black on them that look like yet another canines's paw prints. whether they did no longer have any actual features that can cause them to uninteresting to perceive... i know their physique language, their gates, barks, and their facial expressions nicely adequate that i could have the flexibility to tell them from a mile away. there's no mistaking my boys.

It could possibly be it's stomach...but it's strange that you can only feel it on the left side of it's body. You're rabbit's stomach could be inflamed on the left side. I suggest taking him/her to a vet to be safe.

It is time to take your rabbit to the vet. There they can take xrays of him to determine what the problem is. It could be a hernia of some sort, or it could be much more serious. Either way, you owe it to your pet to have it looked at by a professional.
Hope everything goes well for you and your rabbit.
