I AM SO VERY SORRY FOR YOUR RABBIT. i HOPE AND PRAY ALL HIS PAIN IS GONE. i PRAY YOU KNOW YOU DID THE BEST YOU COULD.
Just a few questions:
How old is she? What are you feeding her? Is she an indoor bunny? Does she chew the cords inside? Please do not use cedar shavings as that will kill her. Please do not try to self medicate a rabbit, they are very fragile and their symptoms are not the same as what you would suspect from a cat or dog.

Have you tried a different vet?
It sounds like you are doing all you can. But, I dont think you should be washing her especially right now.
Rabbits get VERY stressed out. She may not be acting like you are bothering her by doing thaT but I would leave that part of caring for her alone for now. Its probably bothering YOU more than its bothering her.(the poop)
I would call around to some different vets!
ADDED later:
I'm so sorry she didnt make it :(
But, at least you know that you made her as comfortable as possible the last few hours. Alot of animals dont get that.
Sorry for your loss.

try another vet, animal shelter or Rabbit breeder / club.
What does the Vet want $800 for ? You should be able to get something from the pet store that will help the pooping.

Has the vet looked at her? Blood work? she sounds like she needs a vet so if possible she needs to go asap. try filling a plastic pop bottle with really warm water and wraping that in a towel and laying her by it--this will help some with getting her temp up as well--is she an indoor rabbit?

800 dollars? For what? Either you are not giving us all of the information OR something is shady about this vet.
Try another vet. If the cat has to get expensive surgery or medication most vet's will offer you some type of payment plan. This is the only thing I could recommend. It is obvious your cat needs medical care.

Go to petsmart and you can get treatment for it in the bunny section. If that doesnt work, you need to take your bunny to the vet if you want her to live BUT do not take her to that vet, those prices are HIGHLY unreasonable
