Slight wheezing

Rating: 0

I adopted a young male rabbit (fixed) about a month ago. I noticed a few days ago he has been breathing more heavily than I had noticed previously and has barely noticeable wheeze. (I probably wouldn't have noticed it at all had he not started wheezing while lying across my lap.) Actually wheeze is really not the best word; it's more like a very faint panting (but of course he's a nose breather so coming from his nose). He has been eating his pellets, hay and greens and drinking normally. His droppings are normal as is his urine. He doesn't seem particularly lethargic and still comes out to run around the room when his pen is left open. Advice?

Symptoms: Breathing

    thats weird we got a bunny 2 months ago and he is exactly the same wit the wheezing and panting thing but acts normal eats fine and pee is normal and runs around outa his cage but we dont now wat it is either weve been trying to figure it out and all everyone else has said was illness and the rabbit died not long afterwards. The all white one.
