QuestionI have a 4 month old male Holland lop rabbit. When I pick him up and hold him his breathing sounds weird. It's like wheezy and almost sounds like snorting. He lives outside during the day and in my garage at nigt. I don't know if he is sick because my other Holland lop female rabbit does not make these noises. She lives outside 24/7.
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
AnswerDear Kylie,
Please get both bunnies to the vet for a complete check up. It's not normal for him to be making noises like this, and he might have a respiratory infection. Please read:
