The staff at the Small Animal Clinic all loved George. Most of them had never seen a rabbit that big and were shocked. They all knew him by name, even receptionists and such that I'd never talked to. They thought he was very friendly (it comes from being dumb...) - one vet called him a big teddy bear.

The diagnosis was an upper respiratory infection - basically, in the sinuses - of indeterminate cause. A CT showed no tumours, masses, foreign bodies, or anything else related to it. They did decide his teeth needed clipping, and when they did that, they found two of the tiny grinding molars were basically toast and they pulled them. I can't believe how small they are - from cap to root is maybe 10mm, and around 3mm wide. They offered them to me, and my partner loves that kind of stuff, so we have them in a test tube...

George is much improved, and has a treatment plan. His sinuses/breathing are much better. He's on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory meds and needs to be nebulized (aka put into transparent plastic bunny jail) twice a day - just saline, no drugs in that. That's to help keep the remaining fluid in his sinuses, well, fluid, so he can get rid of it.

The staff were all fantastic, and spent as much time as necessary for questions etc.
