Answer
Is he having any discharge from his nose? If so then it may be snuffles. You can always treat a rabbit looking sick or not breathing good as yours is with an antibiotic, Terrymycin is a good choice. This comes in liquid, crumbles, and injection. Get your choice and follow directions. If his illness persist, you may need to make a vet appointment.
