What could be the matter with her?

If she is going off her food then she needs to see a vet whatever the cause....
it's pointless speculating.
Have to say though that just because the incisors look ok that is not an indication of what is going on at the back of the mouth.
Is her tummy hard? is she just off one kind of food? and is she straining to pee?

Thumper lost weight when he had problems with his molars...wouldnt eat, but drank alot so i guess that made him pee alot too..& sometimes if you dont eat your tummy does swell, But i agree to have him checked over...
Poor Thumper was on injections for weeks & weeks for the infections he got with his teeth, But he is back to normal

Not to worry you buy none of my buns that have needed dentals have ever had dribbling as a symptom :shock:
:? What does that mean?? I am taking her to the vets, but I am more worried about her swollen belly and weeing thats all, no she is not excessive drinking.... She not dribbly or wet pawed.... If it is her teeth she will have surgery!

A swollen belly can mean problems of the digestive tract, because gas builds up in the guts. The pain from that could certainly put her off her food.
Increased weeing can indicate a urinary tract infection, but usually you'd notice the rabbit straining to wee, loss of litter training or even urine soaked around the bottom and legs.
A visit to the vet is definitely needed because a rabbit needs to eat pretty much constantly, even going for a day without eating can cause internal ulceration and ultimately death
Good luck, and lets us know how you get on.
