  I have a 3 month old lop. When she was only 2 months, she got wry neck but was treated. Ever since this, I get nervous when the slightest thing changes about her because she’s prone to infections now.
  Well, I have just recently noticed today that she’s is breathing a little louder than normal. Not extremely loud or anything, just a little to the
  point where I can hear it when I get closer to her. Her nose is wet around it, but I can’t tell
  if it’s mucus or not because she normally licks around her nose/ gets water around it when she drinks. There isn’t mucus on her paws or anything but she has been sneezing more often today.
  I don’t know if I should wait and see if it clears up tomorrow since I completely cleaned her cage today or if I should take her to the vet soon.
  I’m just extremely nervous because of her immunity being low from her previous wry neck

  A bunny that has a problem with her lungs will often sit with her nose in the air. They can also breathe with their mouth open. I hope you’re not seeing any of that or hear any type of wheezing from her lungs, if you do, call your vet. A wet/moist nose is not a sign of illness unless of course there’s snot or drooling. Buns should only ever breathe through their noses.
  
  Dis she get wry neck from an ear-infection? Those type of infections can be stubborn and might need more than one course of antibiotics. The aer is connected to the pharynx, so an ear-infection can travel between ears and lungs that route.
  
  Is she eating, drinking and pooping? Normally active?

  she seems to be getting better. I think it was because she was super stressed from the dog coming into my
  room and scaring her.
  
  She got her head tilt from a parasite in the grass, not an ear infection. the breeder that I got her from treated her and her head tilt actually corrected itself.
  Thanks for the suggestions though!

  Great news about her breathing!
  There is a parasite that can cause head tilt and that you treat with a dewormer, I’m guessing that’s what the breeder did. So glad it corrected itself!
