Answer
Hi,

I don't know, but whatever it is it's an obvious problem as this is not normal.  It could be indicative of a number of things, all needing vet treatment.

You need to get her to a good rabbit vet right away.  It will not just go away on its own.  There are hardly any rabbit health problems that just go away without doing anything.  Go to a good rabbit vet, not all are.  Start here:

to have her examined and properly diagnosed by a good rabbit vet.  This page will help you locate a rabbit vet around where you live.

Please get her in quickly.  The sooner it's looked at the better off she will be.
