Huckleberry is 16 or 17 and this is the second time a vet has told us he is dying and he has actually turned out to be OK. In November, his regular vet saw him and I mentioned he had bad breath. She took a look in his mouth and told us he very likely had oral squamous cell carcinoma—a rapidly growing destructive cancer–and that there was nothing we could do. A month later and he still seemed about the same, so we took him to the dentist and they said he probably just has a rotten tooth!
