A routine check found a large mass in my cat's abdomen. Tests done within days revealed it's location near a kidney but looking as if it might me removable. He's a 16yr-old otherwise healthy boy and vets (and insurers) agreed. Carlo, who did the surgery, was brilliant, explained the risks and we all thought Felix deserved the chance. Surgery turned out to be complex due to the lump having attached itself to the kidney, which couldn't be saved, but also in a very delicate area. However Felix came thru with flying colours, is coping incredibly well on one kidney and a renal diet and is a different cat now he's not got a 167g tumour draining him. My heartfelt thanks go to Carlo for a tremendous surgical job and also to all QH staff for their concern for Felix's comfort and welfare (and mine!). Long may he continue to flourish.
