Cookie&Twix

I really feel for Twix right now. I have been keeping a really close eye on her since we got back from our hols, but she has been fine, bright eyed and bushy tailed, eating, drinking and hopping around, using the tunnel that she dug in my garden and being her usual self. 30 minutes ago I went into the shed to check on her and start laying more hay/straw down for the colder nights we are having to find her sleeping and breathing quite quickly. When she woke and sat up, her breathing wasn't as fast, but then the hiccups started. Not as much as before, like not one on top of another, but ever 10-20 seconds or so.
I had taken her to the vet on the Friday (7th) to have her myxi jab and asked the vet to check her over, nothing was found. She carried on with this breathing issue over the weekend and the MIL took her back to the vet on the 10th. Again the vet could find nothing wrong but prescribed a course of baytril. When I returned, Twix was back to her old self.
The first thing I have done is brought her in to weigh her on my scales and then called the vet to get her weight from the 10th. She hasn't lost any weight and is eating and drinking and hopping around like normal, but it is heartbreaking to think there is something wrong with her. The vet is at a loss and said as much to me over the phone. Does anyone else have experince of this sort of thing? I am especially worried after reading about Jane's Meg this morning
Alternatively, does anyone know of a really good rabbit savvy vet in the Cannock area?
Poor love is currently grooming like mad after being manhandled, but the lovely Biscuit is cuddled into her side and reassuring her.
