Answer
Hi Abbie,
 your rabbit could have a mite...that could be what is causing what looks to appear like dandruff.  The problem is the wheezing, mites and ticks carry many diseases including a disease that could cause a pnemonia from a type of myxomatosis. I would suggest bringing your rabbit to your vet for a check on parasites. Then, if there is a parasite your vet will give you the proper products. your rabbit may also just be shedding it's fur for a winter coat,depending on whether it's an indoor or outdoor rabbit. and rabbits do get dandruff, especially indoors when we turn our heaters on..  So clear out the parasite with your vet,then you'll be on the road to recovery!
  good luck,Elizabeth
