My cat's lower belly has formed two lumps?
I have a female dilute calico cat who's about 10 years old. Today my boyfriend and I noticed two lumps on her lower belly. They hang and are somewhat squishy but firm. One side appears to be slightly larger than the other. Could these by cysts/tumors? Any insight is greatly appreiated!
Lumps on my cat's stomach?
I have recently noticed that my cat has two lumps growing on her stomach, they are around the size of golf balls, if not a bit bigger, and they are near her nipples. I'm taking her to the vet on Friday for a checkup, but could anyone tell me what these lumps could be so I can prepare myself? She is an outdoor/indoor cat and has not been spayed, her belly is also growing bigger but I'm not sure if she's overeating or pregnant which is another issue that I need to talk to my vet about.
My cat has a lump on her belly/groin area?
Its only small, about the size of a Marble, it feels hard and its under the skin. As far as i can tell it doesn't seem to be connected to any other tissue. I am booking her into the vets in the morning, i did notice it a few weeks ago and thought i would just keep an eye on it but it is still there although it has not changed. Her behavior hasn't changed in any way, she doesn't seem to be in any pain even upon touching it. She is an old cat, 12yrs, although you wouldn't notice. Anyone any idea what it could be and what the vet will probably do? I love my girl and will pay the vet all the money in the world if she needs it. Thankyou.
TWO HARD LUMPS IN CATS STOMACH ON BOTH SIDES UNDER BACK LEGS HELP PLEASE?!?!?!?!?
I have a female cat, almost 5 years old, and she has had a hernia on her stomach for a few years, its kinda medium sizes. when feeling around there before, the around area was fine, but this past month, feeling around under her stomach, i noticed two hard lumps, practiacally identical on both sides under her back legs, it is a bit away from the hernia, so i dont think it has anything to do with the hernia. its oval is shape and they seem to be getting bigger, but maybe thats just me, but i need sugestions as to what they could be, they are both in the exact same spot in the exact same shape almost on each side under her back legs on her stomach. it seems to be in the area where cats normally store fat under there. if you look at it with the cat sitting nomally, both sides sorta sag down alot more than the reast of her. i dont have enough money to just take her to the vet anytime i want, so i need suggestions and opinions as to what the lumps could be before taking her to the vet, although im sure thats what will have to happen anyways. but googling around got me no where. someone please help me thanks. 4 minutes ago - 4 days left to answer. Additional Details oh and to make a additional note, i took her to the vet over the hernia bc i read online they can burst and its dangerous, and the vet told me it was fine and it didnt need to be fixed. also when i said i noticed the two lumps just this past month i mean they were not there before, they just now came up this past month. so its a new thing. hope this info helps.
How can I tell if my kitten's belly is bloated?
Kittens have a tendency to eat until their tummies are quite full, so they may look bloated right after they eat, but as they digest the food their bellies will shrink, especially after they use the litter box. You should check their stool for parasites, or take the kitty to the vet if there’s any question. Wear gloves, and wash your hands thoroughly when doing this, as some parasites will also infest humans. A kitten with parasites will exhibit other symptoms. It will be listless and will not play as actively as a healthy kitten. It may meow loudly when you pick it up, if you put gentle pressure on its belly. If you have any doubt about your kitten’s health. take it to the vet right away. Little kittens can be very susceptible to illnesses, since they are so small.
Cats have lumps on lower abdomen near genitals?
Is it perfectly centered between left and right? Does it seem like it could be an empty bag made up of skin and a little fat, and does it puff out the fur a bit when they're standing but disappear when they lie down and stretch? Several breeds of cats, male and female, have a pouch of extra skin just in front of their hind legs. This enables them to extend their legs more when running full speed and is perfectly normal. It is also the first place fat tends to gather when a cat is gaining too much weight. So, if you feel anything other than empty skin there, mention it to your vet at their next appointment, just in case. If you still aren't sure about the nature of the lump, call the vet and ask. You also can go wherever cats are up for adoption and look at the cats they have there to see if many of them have the same thing, in which case it's more than likely the extra skin I described above.
My cat had a lump, but then it disappeared?
Possible causes are a Lipoma (fatty lump)these are common in cats and always appear either on the belly under arms or chest area,they often appear and disappear but can return again too,and cats don't seem at all bothered by them, my cat had one before and it just went away but did come back once or twice,then went away again only to not come back,vet told us it was a Lipoma a harmless fatty lump,but as with any lump mention it to your vet to be safe, vets don't usually remove Lipomas if they don't bother the cat,as they just often vanish on their own,hope this helps.
What does it mean when your cat has a lump on the right side of its ribcage?
ChloeMy 17 year old cat, Chloe, has had a lump on her right side for more than a decade. It does not change and is painless. Each year the vet checks it also. The general consensus is that it is a fatty cyst and nothing to worry about, but we do keep an eye on it for any changes.Now nobody on this forum has x-ray vision nor can we or any veterinarians here diagnose what the lump on your cat is. It could range from anything such as a fatty cyst, a hernia or cancer.There are several tests that can be done to diagnosis the lump based on your description of the history and symptoms of the lump. Your cat’s general health will also be taken into consideration.Take your cat to a vet for a proper diagnosis.
My cat had a HUGE lump, now it burst over night and left a hole!?
My cat is well over 20 years old, I had him when I was around 2yrs and he was a fully grown cat.. I'm nearly 19 so god knows how old he is. Anyway, a week or two ago I noticed a HUGE lump on his side- on top of his ribcage area.. I panicked because it was so big and worried it could be cancerous or a tumor or something.. but what I couldnt understand was that it had literally appeared overnight. It had been slightly soft and tissue-y, but becuase it was so big, it was extremely visible. It poked out so much his fur was sticking out from it. Whenever I felt it, he didn't cry in any pain.. so it couldn't of been that painful for him. I woke up this morning and found dribbles on the carpet- assuming he'd leaked a little from being inside over night he probably needed to pee. But then I noticed on the side where his lump was, it had gone but there was a big string of greeny pus on his coat.. (not a tasty sight first thing in the morning) I cleaned it up for him and bathed it in warm salt water (which I will carry on doing till its healed) as I was moving his fur about to clean it thoroughly, I noticed there was literally a hole in his skin.. like it had gone all the way through his skin!! It looked really disgusting and is pussing slightly this peachy liquid. Why has this lump burst and left a hole? Will it heal? Is it anything serious? What can I do in the meantime?. Hes not in any pain when I'm cleaning it. Its just the lump was so abnormally large!
Is lumpy stomach fat normal for a cat?
These "lumps" could be a number of things....... 1. Fatty tumors..... 2. Cysts 3. Cancerous tumors ( mammary glands? ) The only way to find out which, or if it's something else entirely, is to take her to the vet. If the lumps are Cancer, she could ( possibly ) be treated. But, the longer you wait, the less chance of treatment being successful. So, take her ASAP, and have the vet take a look at her. ONLY your vet can give you the "correct" diagnosis. On YA, we only strive to HELP.... Hope everything works out for her........Good luck.
