The Medical Haircut

Charlotte the kitty died on Tuesday after living for a long time with diabetes and then developing hyperthyroidism and heart disease. This is her companion, Marlow, who was just found to have a form of cancer called splenic mastocytosis. The horrible "shave" cut was necessary for the vet to check his body for additional lesions. A biopsy of his spleen has just confirmed the diagnosis. So we are pretty sad here.
