what is wrong with her??

Answer
Hi,

I can't tell you exactly, but she's not in good shape.  You need to get her into a good rabbit vet immediately, like as soon as you are done reading this, it's an emergency.  Call up a good rabbit vet and tell them you're coming in with an emergency gi tract issue with your rabbit.

To find a good rabbit vet (not all are) if you don't have one go here:

to find a House Rabbit Society recommended vet near you.

Don't wait, gut problems and pain - they've been going on a lot longer than you just seeing them now, and she's probably not been eating and drinking much lately which means she's getting dehydrated and that makes it easier for her to slip into shock and die.  This is a medical emergency and you need to get her in NOW.
