My little man has a tendancy to do this too. But he has a diagnosed heart murmur. I've been told that as this progresses his breathing rate and heart rate will increase as his body has to work harder to get oxygen round his body.
Also been told that heat will make it harder for him, so may be a contributor- maybe more so because they are inside?!
Vet also said 'normal' is up to 60 breaths per minute- its easier to monitor this than heart rate.
Fluffs had a funny 5 minutes the other day, breathing really fast and flopped out, but its difficult to know if I'm being over-sensitive... my parents lost their dog last week to lung cancer and he was the same way before he was pts
But I've just watched Fluffs binky round the garden so all confusing really.
I have wondered whether Apache may be having a problem with a fast "wrong" heart rhythm which can come & go, but I have no experience of this in rabbits. I do NOT think this is a lung cancer problem. I think it may be worth while seeing a good rabbit specialist vet if it continues.
It makes his head nod at the same time :?
