Crumbs weighted at most 17kg. That's a little over 4 times the normal weight. An average weight for an average person is 70kg. 4 times the normal weight for an average human would be 280kg permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (5 children) That's 617lbs for the Americans.

But honestly if he had cancer, I don't know that they would have known before it was too late anyway, even if he was of normal size. That's the scary part about cancer. It grows silently until it causes noticeable problems and by then it can be difficult or impossible to treat... especially in animals. permalink fedilink source parent [–] StrongHorseWeakNeigh@piefed.social 3 points 1 year ago Aww poor little guy. permalink fedilink source parent
