Yes, very dangerous. first of all do not shake your rabbit, this is not something you should do it can harm her. secondly diarrhea in rabbits can be fatal, as a matter of fact it usually is if left untreated. you need to take her to the vet as soon as you can in order to get treatment, she will need a course of antibiotics as well as fiber supplements in order to get better.
