Max is recovering in hospital after being sedated for X-rays and an ultrasound. The good news is that his heart is fine and it does not appear to be cancer. He has some signs of tonsillitis and it is believed he has had feline allergic bronchitis or feline asthma. The X-rays are yet to be reviewed and Dr Caldwell will be keeping him in hospital for a week for observation. Max was weighed and came in at a handsome 159kg/350lbs.

It is a huge relief for all of us, including the supporters following Max. Thank you for all of your good wishes and support.

Coco’s blood tests, meanwhile, are normal and we await news of the hormone tests.
