Why is my bunny shaking, panting, and breathing fast? Should I worry?

Question

Binky shakes a lot. The shaking is like panting with his head bobbing up and down and he breathes very fast as well. I can see his tummy part going up and down rapidly. All the time. But my other bunny doesn't. Why is it so. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | unneutered

Hello, sorry to hear about Binky. There could be a variety of reasons why he is doing this. My biggest concern is that he could have an underlying heart disease or an upper respiratory infection. Binky should be evaluated by a veterinarian to make sure that he does not have the above conditions. He may require chest x-rays and bloodwork. Hope this helps and best of luck.
