Wheezing IS a sign of distress. Rabbits shouldn't make any noise when they breathe.
If your rabbit is breathing through its mouth (rather than its nose), that is also a very serious sign of distress (even if it isn't wheezing or making noise).
Wheezing or any sign of difficulty breathing could indicate a respiratory infection, or an injury or obstruction of some kind.
It's a good idea to bring your rabbit to your vet the moment you notice something is wrong. The thing about bunnies is that when they aren't feeling well (for any reason), they can deteriorate really quickly -- more than cats, dogs, and humans, for instance.
If you don't have a vet already, make sure you find one who has experience with rabbits. The House Rabbit Society website has some good info and vet listings if you need help with that. It's really important to find a rabbit-savvy vet because most vets don't know about how to treat them. For example, I've heard of vets putting pet rabbits down for having "snuffles," but that's just an upper respiratory infection and can usually be treated with a dose of antibiotics.

If your rabbit is showing signs of shock such as being listless after an encounter with a dog, it is important to keep the rabbit warm, quiet, and comfortable. Monitor its breathing and heart rate closely. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is best to seek immediate veterinary care. Offer the rabbit the opportunity to eat its favorite foods and monitor its behavior closely.

A good towelling, replacing the towels as they become wet. You could possibly use a hairdryer on a very gentle medium heat, but this might further distress the rabbit, so if your pet isn't used to this treatment, don't try it. Once you've removed most of the water, your best option is to keep the rabbit in some kind of pocket or pouch close to your skin. This will reduce distress and give comfort.
