Skin cancer?

Post by Gnome86 »

Hi guys, obviously will be taking Trixi to a vet asap but thoughts on whether this could be cancer please? Photos aren't the best as she won't keep still but there is a large weeping sore between ear and eye, then a smaller one above eye. Black scabs round edge of ear. She is a housecat and all the other cats are fine. No sign of fleas. Eye now weeping as well. The wound doesn't smell.

If that just appeared overnight I'd say unlikely, do you have an appointment arranged now?

It started max two weeks ago but obv didn't look this bad, I initially thought maybe one of the other cats had swiped her.
We also found a lump on the back of her leg last night.
She will be seeing vet Monday. She is eating and drinking ok and still happy in herself x

Fingers crossed for you for Monday then, please let us know what the vet says.

What a pretty little poppet she is!
