Snow has a lump!
June 6th, 2006
Last Saturday morning, I was petting my white female cat, Snow, and felt something under her fur below her right front leg. It was a lump and turned out to be two, connected lumps about the size of the end of my pinky finger. I made an appointment with the vet and took her over there Monday afternoon. This evening the vet will surgically remove the lumps and send them away to be tested.
They are soft and one is clearly not attached to the ribs, the vet assistant could get his fingers underneath it. Snow, herself, is doing fine. She’s not in any pain and has been both eating fine as well as getting around fine. So, the first and best guess is that these are just fatty deposits under her fur - not uncommon for a cat her age. But, if it is something more serious, I’ll know as soon as the results get back.
Here are some snap-shots I took with my mobile phone after the assistant shaved the area. I’ll try to snap some more when Snow get’s home. Send positive thoughts!!!
