Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / August 2004Young Cats and Cancer
Has anyone ever known a cat as young as 8 months to have cancer? > Has anyone ever known a cat as young as 8 months to have cancer? I have heard of it, but it is pretty rare and possibly a result of another illness like FeLV. Have you gotten a diagnosis? Well, Mollie has this little tiny growth in the corner of her eye, on her 3rd eyelid I think, that the vet said would have to be removed and sent away for analysis if it didn't clear up with the ointment she gave us, and it hasn't. She did say not to worry too much, but we do! > > Has anyone ever known a cat as young as 8 months to have cancer? > > > I have heard of it, but it is pretty rare and possibly a result of another > illness like FeLV.

I"m sorry about Mollie. Maybe your vet is showing confidence because the chances for it to be benign are very good. Please keep us posted! Purrs for a complete recovery for Mollie.

Oh that could be just a cyst easily. I would not worry about cancer at this point, especially if you are having it tested. It would not be my first thought in a case like this. |
