This is Merlin, a ten-year-old cat. Merlin had a mass growing on his right flank, it had become infected, he was eating less and generally feeling under the weather.

Merlin’s owner, concerned about the mass and his health, had taken Merlin to two other vet practices but was struggling with the costs quoted for the mass removal. With Animal Trust the operation to remove the mass was a more affordable price for Merlin's owner.

Merlin had the mass removed with vet Krzysztof at Animal Trust Ashton and has been back for his post-op check to have his stitches removed, there were no complications and Merlin is feeling much better thankfully.

This is Merlin with student nurse Olivia, when we came in to have his stitches removed.
