So, George news... don't worry, it's not bad.
George started sneezing occasionally again, with a bit of nasal discharge. Being cautious about a recurrence of his upper respiratory infection from the fall, I took him to the vet today. Minor upper respiratory infection, doesn't need antibiotics for that, though he did get eyedrops and Metacam [1][2] to reduce the inflammation in his sinuses (if that's what you call it in rabbits, dunno?).
BIG BUNNY NEWS ALERT BIG BUNNY NEWS ALERT BIG BUNNY NEWS ALERT
George has now been officially diagnosed with Big Fur Syndrome (BFS). He is apparently only approaching 15 pounds, not 20 pounds as I thought. The vet officially classified his weight as "heavy", which is a step below "obese", so George says we can't ration the snacks any more. 🤷
END ALERT
He's in pretty good health overall. Not bad for a bunny born in the spring of 2018! 🐰
[1] Rabbit physiology / metabolism is very different from dogs or cats. For NSAIDs like Metacam, for example, George needs the same dose as a 30 kg dog would take, despite being 6 kg.
[2] We actually got a generic "Rheumocam" this time. I don't know if that's only newly available or what. The vet in town here still charges twice what I see it at online Canadian pharmacies - about $160, for 100 mL, while one site has it for $88. But I can't wait a week, so...

I can confirm that 20+ pound bunnies require a *very* good and strong grip/positioning of hands.
And that they can kick hard enough to hurt if you aren't 100% successful at it.

I did it! I did it!
I finally got a picture of George doing his eating-out-of-his-bowl-without-getting-up without him reacting to me and ruining the pose.
He will frequently eat most of his breakfast or dinner this way, fully laid out on the carpet, almost splooted, with his head over the edge of the bowl into his salad.
This is probably one of the reasons George is so blobular.

Exactly! Our Lena was on death row at the shelter for repeatedly "attacking" staff who had no idea how to handle rabbits or what their environment needed to be. Brought her home, and she was 100% fine. Big attitude and considered herself above my partner in the pecking order, but not the evil beast she'd been described as.
I agree with Satori, Marge is beautiful. Big Buns are a class unto themselves.

George is good, better than ever. He's still distrustful of me, but as long as I'm not in a position to suddenly grab him, he tolerates me for treats and occasional nose rubs. He - and we - are grateful for all the concern shown for him from all our FediFriends.
I don't remember if I shared these photos. They're from after he came home from the hospital.

1. Where's the snacc?

Only 10 pounds? And they had the gall to call her "large"?
--George
She looks sweet.

She's darling! Best wishes in her new foster home.
And looking forward to Large Marge's photos!

George, back at home 2 weeks today after his adventure at the University of Saskatchewan Western College of Veterinary Medicine Veterinary Medical Centre Small Animal Clinic - its full name 😉 - or just the VCM or USask Small Animal Clinic for short.
He's kinda got the hang of the water bowl now, though he's still not too sure about it. And he ran away while I was taking pictures, hence the blurry action shot of his butt.
He's pretty wary of me a lot of the time now, because I've mostly been the one chasing and catching him, to pick him up so my partner can give him his horrible-tasting antibiotic. Another week of that and he'll be done.

Sorry for the really crap video here - bad framing etc. I was just setting up when he did this, so I wasn't ready yet.
George doesn't flop or "floomp" a lot - occasionally yes, but usually it's more just like this, where he kind of settles to the ground and his feet slide out from under him. This is him settling in after finishing his dinner. Gotta give it time to digest...
It's probably good that he doesn't flop much. When he does, he kind of shakes the floorboards - you can actually feel it. Have I said lately that he's a big (and portly) #bunny?

I haven't posted pictures in a while - and today I thought I got a few of George that might be okay, but I screwed up. This one was semi-salvageable but the rest were (more) blurry due to my fumble-fingered-ness.
Here George is in his smaller "burrow" (i.e. cardboard box). He's keeping an eye on me because earlier he got grabbed and the clippy-claws monster got him, so isn't too thrilled right now.
