In this episode, artist Josef Keys brings his cat Frankie to the clinic for an on-going problem: squamous cell carcinoma, which is a potentially life-threatening condition. Frankie is one of the Cat Hospital’s favourite patients. Over the past few years, he has had several operations for skin cancer. He has already lost an eye and one of his ears as a result. A test reveals that Frankie’s skin cancer has recurred and he may end up losing his second eye. Clare refers Frankie to soft tissue experts at Gilabbey Veterinary Hospital where he undergoes several weeks of electrochemotherapy. It’s a tense period for both of them and only time will tell if the treatment will be successful.
