You can find a list of rabbit-knowldegable vets at
www.rabbit.org
Not all vets know nearly enough about rabbits, who are very different
from cats and dogs, though almost all of them will claim they do.
It sounds to me as if your new bunny needs some urgent attention.
Please cease immediately the hairball goop and mineral oil.
Try to get her to eat grass hay or fresh greens such as parsley.
But she needs a vet. Now.
