I'm wondering if you mean HGE (hemorrhagic gastroenteritis). This is actually a medical emergency, and Bunny cannot wait until the morning to be seen by a vet. Symptoms are very severe, and can be fatal. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.
