Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

Best way to keep her dry is to use vetbed as bedding, as the urine will soak through and the top layer remains dry. Get a couple of bits so you can use one whilst washing the other, although it doesn't take long to dry.
You need to be careful she doesn't eat it though, and wash it a few times before use to remove any loose fluff
