Common Questions and Answers about Lump at vaccination site in cat

The cath was negative but there is a hematoma at my right groin site that they think may be pressing against the nerve. I have pain in my leg and it is also in the bottom of my foot and ankle. Being a nurse I am freaking out that it might be a blood clot. I had an ultrasound done one week ago which showed the hematoma and my pulses are good both pedal and post tibial. I spoke with the doctor and he said to give it a week.
t be the rabies vaccination. Call the vet and get his or her advice about whether you should bring the cat in. Cats can get infections after being neutered, what kind of litter box does he have and what is in it? You want to rule out infection for sure. (I assume you are saying he is a male despite using the word "spayed," is that correct?) If he has an infection at the operation site, it needs to be handled with antibiotics and quickly.
When my friend adopted her cat from a shelter she was told that this cat had been treated for URI and was no longer contagious even though she continued to have trouble breathing (making noises). Then my friend adopted another cat and this second cat did not get sick although there was a time when he would not eat for a few days. Then my friend and her cats moved in with me about 2 years ago and 6 of my 7 cats got sick with URI.
s no reason to specifically believe that it was caused by fighting with another cat, that I know of, unless the vet recognized a cat scratch at the site. Is there any sign of anything like that? Does the lump feel hard or soft? Can you move it around at all (if you see what I mean) or does it stay put?
If it is an infection, she should have antibiotics prescribed and most likely, an antibiotic injection.
It could also be a bug bite, I suppose, in which case she might require antihistamines.
So I started rabies post exposure prophylaxis in Thailand two weeks ago due to a monkey bite at a tourist site. I'm in a bit of a conundrum as I may have been potentially exposed to another source of rabies as of two days ago...I woke up two mornings ago with scratch marks and what looks like a puncture wound scab on my lower leg. I have NO idea how it got there...I don't recall being bitten while awake and I didn't see a bat in my hotel room.
I just heard that it could be very dangerous for an 18 year old to recive a rabies shot. My cat has never ever been out and she is in perfect health. I want to adapt a kitten that i found but they (county animal services) r saying that my 18 year old cat has to be vaccinated. I dont want her to get sick or even die because of what ever is in this vaccinion! Is this true? I am willing to vaccinate the new kitten with everything but I dont know now if I should take a chance.
I was bitten by a cat and I'm 14 weeks they are saying it is in my best interest to get the 4 sets of shots because once some one catches rabies it's deadly anyone ever have these shots in pregnancy?
ve been to the vet recently, it may also be a reaction to a vaccination, as the hind legs are a common site for injections. Keep an eye on it and if it grows fast or she remains uncomfortable when you touch it, I would see your vet sooner rather than later.
Mailee, if your kitty is an *outdoor*, then yes, you should be having him/her vaccinated against Distemper. The 'P' is what stands for "Distemper" in the FVRCP vaccination which your vet should be giving annually.
We discovered a lump on the left foot of our 3 year old male cat. It is sticking out right about at the wrist. We have taken him to the vet and the lump is very hard. They gave him an antibiotic shot in hopes that it was perhaps an abscess and would go down. It did not and actually has increased in size. He does not limp and gets around on it just fine but it does hurt when you push on it. We have plans to take him in and have it removed.
the cat was not mine, it was owned by my in laws.. As far as I know the cat never gotten rabies vaccine because they dont care about the cat that much. I was worried because there are many times I saw their cat attacked by stray cat outside.. what if the cat that attacked my mother in law's cat could have rabies and transmit it to their cat?
I have a smaller lump in the top of my armpit ( if that location makes sense) it doesn't hurt nor is uncomfortable. But I worries me, I do have a cold so I'm not sure if it is a lymph node. What else could it be? Should I go see a doctor? And how should I ask my parents to see the doctor?
Hello.
Lumps on a cat can be non-serious (benign) and some can be quite serious.
I think it best to take your kitty to a veterinarian to find out which is the case for him/ her.
An online site that may be helpful is peteducation.com. For example, you'll learn to never squeeze a lump.
I hope all goes well with your furry friend. I bet it's a cutie!
The depth of your cut is important, get yourself vaccinated against tetanus and proceed for surgery. If there is any infection at the site then you would need antibiotics.
If this is a deep scratch and the cat is not vaccinated then you have to defer your surgery and take all the doses of rabies vaccination. Discuss with your surgeon
Take care!
I went to my primary care physician and there was no evidence of infection at the biopsy site. While there is a steri-strip in place, the bleeding seems to have subsided on day 14. I need to take aspirin for heart-related problems and that seems to have been the culprit. Again, thanks for your replies.
You must take a Tetanus booster and anti Rabies vaccination as soon as possible but both should not be taken at the same time . Please visit a health care centre for the same . Hope this helps you . Take care and regards !
However, this is from state to state within the United States, there is the possibility that regulations would be more strict internationally although I can hardly believe it would be true when the cat originates in England where the quarantine laws are so stringent. Contact the airline first, they usually know the requirements for travel with an animal, and also google for health certificate, cat, flying, California and see what you get.
s developed a lump on her incision site in the evening. it appears to be fluid filled, and my cat will let me touch it lightly without showing sign of pain. I will take her back to the Vet tmr morning, but just wondering if this is a normal reaction after the surgery. Will someone please let me know if knowing the answer?? thanks!!
On Friday, 9/16 he had by then big lump develop at site of vaccines which is normal with soreness but to me unusually large. Took him back to Vet to be prescribed with Antibiotics for an infection verified by blood test culture under microscope. It was either dirt on his skin caused it or the vaccine itself according to my research. Its Monday (7days later) and his leg is huge. Alot of fluid. Back to the vets for drainage after I called (sight unseen).
I had no idea! He did use the word abscess instead of cyst.
Thanks! I'll let you know how it goes!
