Answer
Dear Colleen,

Instructions for cleaning her messy bottom can be found here:

but it's more important to find out why she's having this problem (cecal dysbiosis).  You can read more about it here:

The most common culprits of abnormal mushy stool are incorrect diet:

and pain/stress from molar spurs or other dental problem that needs the treatment of a good rabbit vet:

I hope this helps.
