The 25-pound Maine Coon is beloved by staff and patrons alike at a cat cafe in St. Petersburg, Russia
Veterinarians are running tests to determine the cause of Croshik's breathing problems
Croshik, a 25-pound Maine Coon cat who lives at a cat cafe in St. Petersburg, Russia, is beloved by staff and patrons alike. But recently, Croshik has been having trouble breathing, and veterinarians are running tests to determine the cause.
Croshik's owner, Svetlana Dmitrieva, said that he has been losing weight and has been having difficulty breathing for the past few weeks. She took him to the vet, who did X-rays and found a mass in his chest. The vet said that the mass could be a tumor, but they need to do more tests to confirm.
Croshik is currently undergoing treatment for his breathing problems, and the vets are hoping that the mass is benign. However, if it is a tumor, it could be life-threatening. Dmitrieva said that she is doing everything she can to help Croshik, and she is hopeful that he will make a full recovery.
Croshik's story is a reminder that even the most beloved pets can get sick. It is important to take your pet to the vet for regular checkups, so that any health problems can be detected and treated early.
