Take her to the vets as soon as possible. This sounds like she has god e cuniculi (head tilt) caused by a parasite. She needs to be seen by a vet

My rabbit, has been having loose stool, is loosing hair around her eyes, and has a stuffy nose.  We have been constantly seeing the vet and she has been treated for a bacterial infection and for parasites but I still have no idea what could be wrong.  If you could please put your imput on what may be wrong that would be helpful.

I did not know that this is a new question since it was not listed as such.  

There is a pecking order in a warren,which is normal, so it is possible that your dominant rabbit did scratch the other, however it could also be self trauma, if the eye or area around the eye was itchy or painful.

we have two nearly five year old female rabbits. One of them recently lost a bit of hair on her head but now it seems to have grown back, but another smaller one has shown up with a little cut( on her head too). A few years ago she had one around her eye but it has healed. Her eye has been weeping a bit recently but seems to be getting better. The weeping eye occurred in our other one a few years ago too, but has dissapeared. She isnt experiencing any hair loss, but because she is the dominant one, we were wondering if maybe she attacked our other one? Is there something wrong?

Hair loss in rabbits commonly can be caused by ectoparasites (mites, and mange and more), or ring worm (fungal infections).  Slobbering can be caused by teeth problems, such as malocclusion.
