Anniegirl Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 My incredibly gorgeous, hansome and infamous (in the flyballing world) Bertie has got cancer and we will only have him with us for a couple more months He had a kidney removed on Friday which had a massive tumour on it, but the vet said there was already signs of spread. We had said to him if it looked too bad then let him die peacefully on the operating table but he said they were all still very small and thought he still had some quality life left. We were not even aware really that he was ill, just had a couple of days when he was off his food, but that was apparently when the tumour bled so he got aneamic, when the blood cells regerated he was fine again. So hopefully we will have some more time like that before we have to make the final decision. He is currently happily lying on the sofa, eating, drinking fine and enjoying lots of cuddles Piccie of my gorgeous boy when we were on holiday in Anglesey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
