[4th October 2020]Today, we brought Troy for an x-ray scan and blood work required to for the vet to see if there is a growth inside of his spleen. Upon confirmation, the vet says that the tumor was very close to his liver as such she was not able to confidently tell me that he can go under the knife at the moment.

As such, she needed me to go to another location (Eng Kong Terrace- West side Emergency) for a more detailed scan and for the scans to be seen by a radiologist for better confirmation and clarity of what procedure Troy has to go through. This scan will take place tomorrow [5th October 2020 @ 1130AM] which would cost another $400.

Currently there are 2 scenarios for Troy:

1)Upon the scanning tomorrow, if the tumor has not spread to the liver the procedure would be relatively safe and easy. The cost of the procedure of this scenario is above. ($3,490.28)

2)However, if the tumor has spread to the liver and has created lesions of some sort, the vet suggests that I bring Troy to see a specialist because there might be a possibility of having the need to remove a part of the liver. This operation that would be performed would cost on upward $5,000.

So the total cost of the procedure in reach scenario is:

Scenario 1:

• Initial x-ray & blood work: $302.80
• Further Scan for confirmation of liver complications: ~$400
• Procedure/Surgery: $3,490.28
  • Total: $4193.08

Scenario 2:

• Initial x-ray & blood work: $302.80
• Further Scan for confirmation of liver complications: ~$400
• Procedure/Surgery: ~$5,000
  • Total: $5,702.80
