Sadly yes he was 11, we'd noticed he was finding it difficult to breathe and took him to the vets - he said it was his arthritus because he was old since when does arthritus cause breathing problems?? so we took him back and forth to vets... till one night he got very bad, I rushed him to emergency vets and they did an x-ray on him... and found his lungs covered with tiny tumors they said it was kinder to put him to sleep there and then. I stayed with him till the very end. It was awful. I still miss him loads. <3 I'll probably post some more photo's of him if thats ok
