We are not vets so cannot diagnose any issue. Sometimes head nodding while breathing can be a sign of a problem so seeing a vet is always what you need to do, particularly if this is a new and sudden behaviour.

Switch from the routine weekly weight checks and instead weigh daily while you have health concerns. This helps you monitor hay intake more closely and step in with appropriate syringe promptly.

Emergency and Crisis Care as well as Bridging Care until a Vet Appointment

Any change in behaviour like this should really be seen by a vet.

Hi and welcome

Please see a vet, ideally within 24 hours, especially if the nodding doesn't stop in order to have heart and lungs checked.

All the best.
