Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / November 2007cat cancer?
hello...my 7 year old cat has a grape sized lump on his back right leg. It is attached to something whether it be muscle or bone, not sure. He is still eating and doing everything like normal but it has grown since I noticed it about a month ago. HELP!!!! Please take your cat to the vet to have the lump evaluated.

HELP!!!! > hello...my 7 year old cat has a grape sized lump on his back right leg. > It [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > it > about a month ago. HELP!!!! ---------- This could be many things. How can we make a diagnosis on Usenet? You need to get your kitty to the vet for an evaluation as soon as possible. Best regards, ---Cindy S. > hello...my 7 year old cat has a grape sized lump on his back right leg. > It [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > it > about a month ago. HELP!!!! You need a vet, and you need to see a vet IMMEDIATELY!!! The best help we can give you is to stress the importance of getting a diagnosis as soon as possible. This simply isn't something that can be diagnosed (or advice given for treatment) in a newsgroup. *Please* take your cat to a vet, and then please update us so we will the results of the examination.

Please pick up the phone and call your vet. It could be several things. But the most important is that a call to the vet to be seen is a must. Sounds like it may be a sarcoma. Your cat needs to see a vet ASAP. Gail > hello...my 7 year old cat has a grape sized lump on his back right leg. > It [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > it > about a month ago.

A lump in the right rear leg could be a vaccine-associated-sarcoma (fibrosarcoma). Rabies vaccines are usually given in the right rear leg so in the event the cat develops a VAS, the leg can be amputated to stop the spread of cancer and save the cat's life. If you wait another month or two-and he dies an agonizing death, you'll know it was a fibrosarcoma-- or you could take him to a vet, now- right now- and save his life. What would you do if you had a fast-growing lump in your leg? How long would you wait to see a doctor? Just curious. > > hello...my 7 year old cat has a grape sized lump on his back right leg. > It [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > What would you do if you had a fast-growing lump in your leg?

TAKE THE CAT TO A VET!!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!?!?

Don't you know it is all about making the cat owner FEEL better! What do you think, it's about the welfare of the CAT?!
