Wet patch on rabbits fur

The past couple of days I have noticed a small wet patch of fur on my rabbits lower back. It's in the same position each time, and I have used a flea comb to have a look at the skin, which looks fine and is not oozing. I've dried it, and when I've held her again later in the day it's back again. I think she has mites as she has got dry flaky skin, has anyone heard of wet fur before? I've looked on the internet and can't find anything. I've got her an appointment with the vets tomorrow but was wondering if anyone has had anything similar or any suggestions as to what it might be? I have noticed that her hutch is slightly damp, but can't see how this could make her back wet, and it doesnt smell so can't be wee. Thanks for your help
 
If she has mites she may be chewing at her fur as she will be very itchy.

Mites often flare up in Rabbits who have other underlying problems, especially Dental ones. So a check up at the Vets is certainly needed

Good luck :)
