Young boy rabbit

Question
My rabbit makes a light wheezing sound while he runs, this is a recent development I believe. He is only 4-6months old and very active. Otherwise he seems perfectly healthy. Should I take him to a veterinarian?  

Answer
Dear Nick,

If this is something new, I definitely think he should be examined by a rabbit-savvy vet who can check for respiratory infection.  Rabbits can become very sick without showing much in the way of signs, so best to get him checked/treated early.  You can find a good vet here:

though, as I mentioned, a sick bunny will often not act sick until he's *really* sick.

Hope he will be fine.
