Hi there!
I have a 3 month old rabbit (I was told he's a mini rex but he doesn't have a rex coat). I think he's some kind of mix. We live in North Texas so he's not exactly "fall weather" here yet, but it's getting close. Jackie Chan (male) has been breathing quickly and his ears are hot. We took him to the vet but we don't have much faith in him. He took his temperature and it was 103.7. We gave him some antibiotics but there hasn't been a decrease in temperature. He doesn't seem to do it as much at night (when it's cooler) but my boyfriend is still worried. The vet checked his lungs and they are clear now (the first time we went to the vet there was some noise in his lungs).
My boyfriend is concerned because our smaller 7 month old rabbit doesn't do it as much. I think it's because he's a growing boy with testosterone flowing through him and he's bigger than her.
Last bit of detail: he was rejected by his mother at 4 weeks so we finished his weening period with goats milk and probiotics.
Any and all advice is welcome! Thank you!
