Last month we took him to a vet since he sometimes panted and she diagnosed bronchitis Today I counted his breaths 60 in one minute. What do we do?

That is a fast respiratory rate and should be ideally checked again by your veterinarian as, if the bronchitis did not resolve, could be suggestive of a deeper respiratory infection. I would recommend to take DoReMi to your veterinarian for a check up.
