Answers:
Don't ever assume it is dead
They are born without hair and are subject to hypothermia very quickly. Sometimes babies that were cold and stiff by simply immersing them in a cupful of lukewarm water for a couple of minutes and then warmed in a towel with a hair dryer. When thoroughly dry and warm to the touch, you may return them to the nest box with the others. If there are several babies I put them in a zip lock plastic bag and hold it by the open top under warm water.

As for still seeming like she is inlabor I can not help you there, try calling some of the vets in your area, most of the time thay will answer some questions over the phone, I do it all the time with our rescue if I am not sure of something.
My condolences. Don't know anything about rabbit labor, but it is sad.
I'm no for shore but you would ask a vet and then hell tell you if 15 hrs are long for a rabbit.
a rabbit labour can last a few hours there is no set time rabbits normally give birth at night there is no exact time for rabbit labour i would ask your vet for advice if you think shes still in labour good luck
I've read about that. She can still be in labour. If the 2 kits were abnormally big they might be lethal giants. Thats only if the father
is bigger than the mother. If thats so there will be tiny peewees in the litter and they can unfortunately die after 3 days. The lethal giants are stillborn due to hard long labour. But hopefully thats not the case.
