the bunny could have mange an infestation of fur mites, which can cause a rabbit's skin to become itchy, with white particles like dandruff appearing in its fur. In some cases, the rabbit will lose its fur in areas of heavy infestation. Also called walking dandruff.

Check her for bugs. My rabbit got maggots when she got poop stuck to her. The vet told us to wash he in salt water and then dry her well. We did this and she died during the night. Im not suggesting this because she died. She could have died cuz she wasnt dried enough and got too cold, the salt water affected her, or if it was cuz of the maggots but it might help. I bath my bunny i have now with a soft baby soap and warm water then towel dry her hand put her near the fire place. And of course she sleeps in the house. She is fine with baths so Maybe if you try that. If she has any wounds of red skin, use polysporn (yes I know its for humans) it will help and its fine for them to have.
