Just over a year ago , Pirata, was very unwell. A scan revealed an inoperable tumour , the vets believed that Pirata would have a maximum of 6 months, and he is still defying the odds. A month ago , another scan revealed another tumour. This was operable , but in light of his history and existing tumour, it was decided to leave him alone. His arthritis is being treated, he may limp now , but he still enjoys his walks. He is living his best life in foster care with his furry companions.
