My other vet would have sent the tissue samples away regardless. Needless to say, this is a vet, who doesn't charge the earth for treatment. However, the cysts will be stored in formalin but will only be sent away for histological analysis should more cysts or other symptoms appear. She is confidant there is no need to worry about cancer. The vet found the cysts were easy to remove, only attached to glands. The operation and control were both done during lockdown.
#SQUISH THAT CAT URI SKIN#
But she said the lumps should be removed as her skin would grow thinner. At the first visit, the vet was hopeful that it was not breast cancer simply because she had been sterilised at a fairly young age and because cancer usually only occurs in older cats. She had 3 or 4 lumps on her right side, which appeared to be under her skin but moveable. I took my cat Katy, 7 years old, sterilised female, to the vet just before lockdown. He is an indoor-only cat that is one of four indoor-only cats that sometimes wrestle and play, so I'm thinking it may be from a scrap? It may have slightly shrunk, but since it's squishy, it is hard to tell. It hasn't grown the past month (I've been checking daily). It is right where his collar was, but I removed it as soon as the lump appeared. It feels like it is right under or in his skin layer and I can easily move it 1/2 inch. When I move it, it feels partially attached to something.
When I lightly squeeze it, he doesn't display pain. It is raised, but not scabby and no hair loss.
My cat LG has a slightly squishy, pea-sized, moveable lump on his neck (if his head/neck was a clock, with his ears 12 and chin 6, the lump is at 8 o'clock). Basically, I need to know if I can safely wait another month to see his vet, or if it is serious and I need to schedule an emergency appointment. I realize that not all cats are as full-contact as mine.Hi! First off, I'd love to take my cat to the vet, but with the coronavirus stay-at-home order, they are overrun (they have to limit appointments and schedule carefully). Maybe that falls under “squish that cat” advice?īut with unfamiliar cats, I do default to light touch. They react to the Zoom Groom like most humans react to Swedish massage. They especially love being brushed with the Zoom Groom (a brush with thick, conical rubber-nub “bristles”), using long massage-like strokes with some pressure. They love to be scratched as vigorously as possible.
Of course, my kitties also violate the “light touch preferred” advice. If either of us tries to use the other one’s method, the cat immediately gets very uncomfortable and struggles to get loose. With my husband, they prefer to be held belly-up in his arms like a baby. With me, they like to be held with front paws over my left shoulder so they can look behind me, my right hand supporting their butt and hind legs and my left hand around their shoulders. My kitties prefer to be held in different ways by me and my husband. Posted by Anticipation Of A New Lover's Arrival, The at 4:20 PM on She always gets put down immediately when she starts to squirm, which is helping with building trust. She'll let me hold her, but she refuses to purr even if I give her the nicest scritches in her favorite places. Overall though she's quite the little rag doll as long as she's in my room, and will let me pick her up and flop her around pretty much however since she's learned that A) it never hurts B) she always gets put down gently and C) she gets lots and lots of scritches before, during, and after.Īnywhere else in the house, if I pick her up she'll emit a perfunctory Protest Squawk just to make sure that anyone nearby knows that this was Not Her Idea and that her dignity has been injured. She has eosinophilic dermatitis and it's pretty much controlled but she still has a tendency to scratch her ears to bloody ribbons if I let her back claws get sharp. Right now we're working on getting her comfy with being cradled like a baby, because that seems to be the easiest way to trim her back claws. My cat is nearly that patient when she's in her Safe Zone (the bedroom) and will let me pretty much manhandle (cathandle?) her however I want.
