Unhappy New here...

Just got here today, my senior cat Tuvok is ill and I did post about it in the forum. I wanted to come here as a last attempt to see if anyone else could help me with some questions about him. This was taken 4 months ago before he got really ill. He has a nasal tumour that is making him not eat or drink. I just got him to drink some water today which is the first time he's had any in a while.

Nasal Tumours are dangerous and expensive to remove....sorry you are going through this.
Hope we can help in some way and welcome to the forum

We know how much it will cost to get the CT scan, biopsy, cultured sampling and then the care he needs before the actual operation; a quote of between 8 and 10 grand but that's not the issue really. If he started eating then we would wait so he could build up his strength enough to survive the operations. We're already starting to accept that we may have to let him go despite my efforts to get him to eat.
