Dervish

The shoulder is fine, Dervish is still not eating much. She tried with the tuna, stopped after a bit. I wonder if it is a tooth or throat problem, something about eating that makes it harder, in any case, time to speak to the vet again. My instinct tells me they haven't considered her throat or teeth. It might be something as simple as a gum infection.

Not a gum infection

Vets keeping her in over night, done an abdominal scan, found an area of 'change' on the liver. Could be a tumour, could be a benign growth that's getting in the way, could be an abscess...

To get the exact scan that shows exactly what it is, even before treatment we are looking at £6,000, and then at least one surgery requiring general anaesthetic which may kill her anyway, as may the medicine they are now giving her if it reacts with the liver.

She's 17.
