So last nite Cotton was on the bottom of his house his back to me. He is usually out playing at that time. I coaxed him out of his cage. Well I opened the top and convinced him to come out.
He was breathing fast and his eyes were big. Even in his house. Deciding to hold him to calm him down he didn’t struggle a bit. Then he saw his chance and took off behind some pillows on the couch. Eyes big breathing hard.
Thinking maybe the sleeves on my shirt were bothering him cause the sleeves are big I changed my shirt. Then gathered him up in my arms with no struggle at all. I cooed to him and petted him. I was so worried what scared him so.
Did I drop my one of my meds and he ate it. Noooo he was in his house.
Finally he took a big breath and exhaled like whew it’s over. 
I was so worried I was about to cry.
Only 4 things
I could think up were the big sleeves on my shirt scared him? My shirt being black scared him? The slippers I put on top his hay container scared him? The smell of hubby frying a cow tongue in vinegar? Once I thought of it I I opened the door to let the smell out. Could it have been the smell? 
I mean he was so scared he wasn’t struggling or anything. Talk about releived when he inhaled and exhaled like that. Phew. 
Then everything was back to normal with his bunny self.
