She has a heart murmur so anaesthetic is a risk but her quality of life was slipping so it was a risk worth taking.

She came through the op which is good news and her thyroid and kidney function is getting back to normal. One of her teeth was in a bad state and had to be removed and the gum around the tooth was so badly swollen that the vet has a suspicion that it may be cancerous. Only time will tell and we're hoping that with a cleansed mouth she will now start to eat more and build up her strength.
