Kitty woes
I have a female cat approximately 12 years old. she's a shelter kitty so they were not sure of her exact age.
some weeks ago I discovered a lump on her back, at first I just kept an eye on it and it did not grow nor did she seem to be in pain on or around the lump when touched but then people began to agitate about it which resulted in no less than two visits to the vets, various tests and the like .. the first came back inconclusive .. the second came back with to few cells but those cells they did see indicated a benign nature but the recommendation was removal .. and just a week ago I discovered a new lump on her back leg .. I'm starting to fear I will end up having to put her to sleep
My little Mae.

Re: Kitty woes
After some drama and consternation concerning the operation, the initial assesment of the cost ended up around $700 and when we called the same place a second time the price had suddenly shot up to about $950.
I was ready to give up, not because I did not want to have it done but I just don't have that kind of money but as a last resort we contacted the vet who did the original tests and whatnot on her and she was shocked at the pricing and then agreed to do the operation as the lump is still fairly small and tests showed a benign nature , for a mere $200 so she's going under the knife on 30/9

Re: Kitty woes
You may want to ask the vet if he/she can test for this genetic disorder; especially, since the lumps keep returning.

Re: Kitty woes
Everything whent well. the vet took a look at the second lump and it is a harmless fatty one, nothing like the first one which she removed completely and we agreed to have it sent for analysis, I will get the results in about a week.
The lump on her back was the first one she's ever gotten so while worrying I don't think it will return and the fatty one on her leg requires no operation as it is possible it will dissapear on its own in time.

Re: Kitty woes
I forgot about updating since noone exept you posted after my last post.
I got some less than thrilling news about the growth after sending the whole thing for analysis, apparently it is malign in a way that it may return on the same spot but chances of it spreading is slim to none, something about nerve tissue. I don't remember everything, lots of complicated latin names and medicinal speech.
