Question
 

Answer
Can she clean herself off?  And are they dry or wet?  If she is overweight, she couldn't clean herself, or if she has arthritis.

The best option is going to be a butt bath if either is the case.  You can read about that at http://www.bio.miami.edu/hare/buttbath.html  The dry method would be less stressful, but you can try both and see which works.
