Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / September 2003Found a lump
Found a lump on the right rear side of my 5yo cat (Betsy). It is in front of her hip area. She is acting/playing normal... no weight loss. She has an appt with the vet for next Tuesday evening.... how worried should I be? I *am* very.... Linda Linda ...btw... aside from hating to be handled, it doesn't appear to be causing her any pain when I touch it. > Found a lump on the right rear side of my 5yo cat (Betsy).

Make sure your vet takes a look at it and maybe even a tissue sample or FNA for examination - just to play it safe. What's Betsy's titer... if she even has one? Good luck.

Hi Phil, She was last tested in April, when it was 1:16 (at diagnosis 3 1/2 years ago it was 1:4096) ... she is due for a 6-month check in about 6 weeks.

Of course you are going to be worried under the circumstance. It may be "nothing", but you were very right to take her in. Even "playing/acting normal/no weight loss" can be cancer. You never take the chance. Good luck. > Found a lump on the right rear side of my 5yo cat (Betsy). It is in front > of her hip area. She is acting/playing normal... no weight loss.
