    Vet rang

    Fekix has terminal liver cancer

    Did a scan

    Full of fluid in belly and mottled appearance on liver

    Nothing they can do

    As for his tooth it's a harness cyst

    They want me to collect him and say goodbye

    He's at most 4 to 6 weeks to live

    @Amberpearl You don't know about Bruce yet! The vet I'm sure is doing their best.

    @Amberpearl I'm really sorry to hear about your cat 🙁 I hope you can enjoy some last good times with him over the next few weeks

    @Jimm_Scope yes I really like the variety of things in Japan, apparently they have 25 flavours of Kit-Kat or something??

    I'm back now but I'm really sorry I that didn't read any other threads yet even on my own threads and even though there are new posts. I know it's not an excuse but just my explanation is that I'm just scared in case someone has posted something nasty which will set me back again, even though I know 99% of the posts are supportive. I will read them eventually when I get some courage. I hope everyone is OK though 😊

    Sounds like a lovely afternoon @Lou67

    Umm I'm sure your dentist is the expert but when you said there is bone poking through the gum … you mean a tooth?? 😂

    @66Mustang
    Lol I’m no sure oh must be a bit off tooth I have some dentures 🤦‍♀️ I’m embarrassed about that but it’s a long story. So maybe a bit off the tooth wasn’t taken out right, but I only started feeling it a few months ago and I’ve had the dentures for years.

    @Sandy_123
    I’m terrified off dentists I always have been so will probably need something off the doctor to calm me when I’ve to go back.

    I hope you both have had a good day.

    ❤️

    @Lou67

    I have an interesting but quite a nasty story/fact about dentures that an elderly family member told me

    My relative (now passed) used to have dentures and she got them in a way that was quite common in those days

    When ladies got married their father would pay for them to have their teeth removed (even if they were OK) and dentures put in

    It was considered a valuable gift to the groom because the groom's wife's teeth would be his responsibility to pay for later down the line

    A little bit of history that I thought it was quite weird and gruesome
