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...

My partner is convinced that #George, our roly-poly big dumb #HouseRabbit, likes lying in front of the television on the "fireplace channel" *because* it's a cozy warm fire.
And I'm like, animals generally don't *like* fire...
I know cats love them for heat. Dogs too, maybe. But on TV it doesn't provide that.
Do other #fedi people have #pets that like lounging in front of the streamed-to-your-livingroom fireplace channel?

Haze looks an awful lot like our George! Though he's got a worse case of Big Fur Syndrome.
Flop == feels secure around you. Great bunny!

George doesn't move fast most of the time - he's too big for lightning-fast boinging off the furniture like some parkour bunnies. When he does move fast, you hear him...
First picture: "What are you doing? Can I see? Can I see?"
Second picture: "I hate my enrichment board. Just give me snacc directly."
