3 year old male moggie cat with lump in chest area
Posted: Sun Jul 24, 2022 7:03 am
Hi there,
My 3 year old boy I have just noticed yesterday has a lump in his chest. When inspecting it it’s a big bigger than the size of a pea but a more oval shape. It is moveable (not attached to anything underneath) I have got an appointment for the vets but earliest they had was 10 days and I feel like I’m having a heart attack with worry.
My biggest worry is mammary gland cancer. I understand it is mainly older female cats who suffer from this but I now have it in my head he has it. His behaviour is normal. He is neutered. The other thing I should mention he is constantly being attacked by a neighbours cat and often comes in with scratches. The area of the lump looks like a tiny bit of scab has heeled and nearly finished peeling off. But I’m also worried as it is about 3cm away from his nipple even though the nipples look normal.
Any experiences and advice would be much appreciated![Question :?:](./images/smilies/icon_question.gif)
