As the Syrian is in poor bodily condition, old and has ascites (excess fluid in the abdomen due to disorder of the heart, liver or kidney usually), the owner decided on euthanasia.  He is a very anaesthetic risk if he is to be operated to remove the neck tumour.

It is best to get tumours excised or removed by your vet when it is very small.
