Answer
Hi Kelly,

it could be a number of things.  They all require a vet exam.  A good rabbit vet will figure out what they are faster than anyone else, and thus, get faster, effective treatment to her and keep your expenses lower because of it.

If you need to find one start here:

www.rabbit.org/vets/vets.html

and find a House Rabbit Society recommended rabbit vet near you.  If none are listed around you, call your local animal shelters or any relatively close rabbit rescue groups and ask who they would go to with a sick or injured rabbit.
