My rabbit's breathing seems noisy and fast. Is this normal or concerning?

[]

Answer

Noisy and fast breathing in a rabbit is a significant concern and can indicate respiratory distress. Rabbits are prey animals and often hide signs of illness until they are quite unwell. Potential causes include respiratory infections, dental issues affecting the nasal passages, or even heart problems. It's not something to observe for long. Rabbits can deteriorate rapidly. This is an emergency - please take your pet to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately.
