Our vets had been looking after a very elderly black puss, who was found collapsed on the village green on Monday.
The RSPCA got involved in so far that they agreed to give him a log number and treatment, but we didnt sign them over to him.
Rudy, was a lovely fella, very old and fragile. He was thin, mankie and unkept, having probably never having a nice home.. He was given treatment for a bad paw.. He proved to be positive for FIV, and on further investigation lumps that to the vet was diagnosed with bone cancer in his leg, as he couldnt put his food down. He has dodgy kidneys and thyroid..
The vet who we use alot (who treated Jesiri) thought it was just too much for him and due to his age and the cancer it was decided with a heavy heart that it was kinder for him to be PTS. He was given TLC, lots of fuss and warmth for the last few days but that dosnt help..
Oldies just get disregarded and its a shame that some humans left them down.
Rudy deserves a mention here and i hope he is feeling better now.
I wish we could of done more.
RIP Rudy
