Rabbit mouth-breathing as a result of a tracheal stricture. Open-mouth breathing or cyanosis is always a poor prognostic indicator and these cases should be treated with extreme care, supplemented with oxygen, and handling should be minimized until the patient is more stable. © 2014 British Small Animal Veterinary Association
