What is the smallest rabbit breed?
The dwarf rabbit is the smallest rabbit breed. An adult dwarf rabbit weighs only about 2 jin (roughly 1 kg) and can be easily held in the palm of your hand. Dwarf rabbits are mostly solid-colored - white, black, blue, chocolate, or lilac - with a short, stocky body and a round, full head, and their ears are much shorter than those of ordinary rabbits, only about 5 cm long. The Dutch dwarf rabbit's personality matches its appearance: these tiny rabbits are very shy, but once they get to know a person they become friendly.
What colors do meat rabbits come in?
Common meat rabbit colors are white, black, and gray. Color relates to breed, keeping conditions, and maturity — e.g., Dutch rabbits are mostly white, black, and gray; New Zealand rabbits are usually pure white. Good nutrition and health give fuller, brighter coats; poor conditions or deficiency can dull and yellow the fur.

From the X-ray you provided, the rabbit's lung infection is severe and may cause 'white lung' from bacteria, viruses or tumors; fluid or abscess destroys healthy tissue. Treatment requires finding the cause and combined therapy—anti-infection, oxygen and nutrition—and a single oral drug is usually not enough.
In the last few days my rabbit developed reddish wounds on its feet, and today it has spread to the edges. What could this be?

Rabbit has red skin and a red lump under the jaw
A red lump under a rabbit's jaw may be skin infection or a cyst. Soft with white pus suggests a submandibular cyst needing drainage; hard may be fungal. Get a scraping exam and use an Elizabethan collar.
My rabbit has had this skin problem since giving birth – what could be the cause?
Post-birth skin issues in rabbits are often fungal ringworm, which spreads fast and is dangerous to kits. Isolate, medicated-bathe, disinfect, and apply antifungal cream; see a vet for confirmation.
How to Prevent Heatstroke in Pet Rabbits During Summer
Rabbits sweat poorly and overheat easily, so summer heatstroke can be fatal. Prevent it with shade (black mesh, awnings, whitewashed walls), ventilation, lower stocking density (~10 rabbits per m²), sprinkling water, ample cool drinking water with 1% salt or vitamin C, and cooling foods like watermelon rind and cucumber, plus electrolyte-glucose supplements.
