Found a lump
Hi guys. Hoping to get some helpful info, as I usually do here. First, I am
taking Jack to the vet, but in the meantime, I am posting here. Jack is my 6 year old, slightly overweight beauty. The other night, Saturday I believe it was, I felt what appears to be a lump. It is inbetween his right hind leg and his back. I keep trying to convince myself that it is just a muscle, but the more I feel it, the more I think it is a lump and I am beginning to work myself up into a frenzy thinking it is cancer. I know no one here can advise as to whether or not it is cancer, but I was hoping to just get some positive feedback between now and the vets visit so I don't completely loose my mind. Thanks! -- Message posted via CatKB.com http://www.catkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx...ealth/200711/1 |

My kitty had a lump that turned out, IIRC, to be a cyst, basically a giant (1/3") zit. It would get bigger some times of the year, smaller at other times. After nearly two years, I had it removed surgically. Have a vet check it out. |

Please do so as soon as possible. In particular, ask about the possibility of carcinoma related to vaccination. All vets now have a protocol where they inject in specific locations (rabies in one location, othe injections in other locations, etc.) so they will be able to trace problems to particular immunizations. How long has it been since Jack had any immunizations? Best of luck with this! Please keep us updated -- I surely hope that my fears are unfounded. MaryL |

The last time he had any shots was 5 1/2 years ago. He is an indoor cat so I
do not keep him up to date with vaccinations like rabies. I read about that vaccination related sarcome but I honestly don't believe either of my guys have had the rabies vaccine.

I wouldn't worry just yet it might be nothing more than a fatty cyst. I had
a cat who was loaded with them his whole life they are really pretty common for cats to develop as they get older. Celeste "MoMo via CatKB.com" u27647@uwe wrote in message news:7ac96bde2ee94@uwe...

Thank you Celeste! I really hope that is what it is. I also realized today
that the spot is also where my other cat grabs on to him with his claws when he wants to play, so I was thinking maybe it is something associated with that. I am going to try and get him to the vet on Saturday (by that I mean, getting him in the crate). Otherwise, he seems just fine, i.e good appetite and energy.
