Just had a phone call. They x rayed Joe and he has a massive tumour. The prognosis is very poor. We have made the decision to put Joe to sleep. RIP Joe.

We are devastated as you can imagine.

Oh Linda :( I am so very sorry to hear this. I know Joe has been in your family for many years and his loss isn't easy. Not that any loss is. My thought and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time <3

Oh Linda I am so sorry . I know I have only known you a short while but I really feel for you. I faced the exact same decision with my one when she came out of hibernation two years ago and when they have been with you for so so long they really are part of the family...

Aw, darn it, Linda! Would it be an actual tumor, or could it be a large bladder stone? This is very ugly news, and I'm so, so sorry this is happening.

The bloods confirm tumour I am afraid. :(

His kidneys, etc were in perfect working order apparently.
