She might have urine scald that is developing into a bacterial infection. Could also be fungal. Very important to get her to the vet for a proper diagnosis and treatment as this could also be related to bladder or other health problems. A rabbit that is not able to keep itself clean is also at risk for fly strike.

Trouble is Bunnies are normally such clean little beings.
A Bunny who is getting wet and sore from wee has a problem.
What do you use for bedding? Is she spayed and does she use a litter tray.
In my experience a Bunny getting sore from wee has either a Urinary Tract Infection, a mobility problem ( eg arthritis) or a parasitic infection called Encephalitizoon Cuniculli. It is not 'normal' for a healthy Bunny to be mucky.

:yeahthat
Does your vet actually treat rabbits much? Maybe you could take her to one that is more rabbit-savvy. A good rabbit vet should know that it's not normal for a rabbit get urine on herself unless she has a medical problem or her cage isn't being cleaned properly.
