Normal breathing and kinda mean

[Jinx and Jude]

Hey so my bun Jinx acts normal, he eats drinks, poops and pees no problems, but I’ve noticed he’s kinda meaner all of a sudden after his nuter, i mean he was already kinda mean to my cat and kinda liked to bite me when i went near his space and stuff but mostly he was good now all of a sudden after getting fixed he attacks when i go near his cage ..his breathing also looks odd because like he will be lying down in his cage after resting a while and his breathing still seems fast to me

There can be a post-neuter craze due to hormonal adjustments following a neuter which can exacerbate hormonal behavior (e.g., more aggression). That being said, it’s important that you also consider whether this change in behavior is an expression of stress due to a health or frustration/boredom issue. Since he is eating, drinking, and pooping fine, I’m inclined to think this is within the post-neuter craze, especially if his neuter was within the past month.

Fast breathing can definitely be normal based on context. If at any point it appears he is having trouble breathing, then there is definitely an issue. You can also consider, though unlikely based on time of year, if rapid breathing is associated with being too hot.

Thank you for answering..yeah that’s why I wanted to bring up the angry ness cause I was worried ge could have an underlying health issue but like I said he just got nutered on Sunday and I’ve heard it’s normal for rabbits to be like that for a few weeks for hormones to calm down..he breaths fast but its not like he’s having trouble breathing at all

Yeah, he’s probably feeling the hormone swings right now.
