My two adopted buns will be seeing a vet within the next 2 weeks , but I wanted to do my own little "health assessment" on them as well. I looked online and it says a rabbits takes 40-60 breaths per minute, my rabbits abdomen almost looks like its panting it moves in an out so fast, , what am I seeing? is it just "sniffing" since its nose is always moving? How do I know how many are actual breaths? And then I tried the pulse rate - and I came up with 84 (20 beats per 15 secs) Am I feeling my own lol? I see that is supposed to be a LOT higher ??? I am not concerned they are in any distress because they are acting fine, but what am I doing wrong? I couldn't find any videos to show this.
