Common Questions and Answers about Lump on cat's back
lump
t already, I would get another opinion from another vet. Our kitty had a lump on his tail too awhile back near the base of his tail. The lump turned out to be a beneign cyst, so the lump is not necessarily a tumor and there was no surgery involved in the case of our kitty. I hope you find my suggestion helpful for your dear Sammy the cat.
I NEED SOME INPUT FROM SOMEONE THAT KNOWS ABOUT CATS AND STUFF....
So I have this cat and he only goes outside for a few hours every night. So yesterday we noticed that he has a huge squishy lump on his head. Right on top. It looks exactly like a abscess before being drained. But here's the kicker...there's not sign of trauma on or around the lump. No bites/punctures wounds, no scratch marks..nothing. Just a lump with no signs of how it got there.
I posted this under another thread but I think it might be a better idea to make a thread about this situation itself.
Last week I felt a lump a little bigger than 1 inch in the middle of my cat's chest. Lump being a lump the first thing I thought of was that it was a nodule, so I took him to the vet. The vet took some x-rays and blood samples and the xray showed no shadow in the area of the lump.
My cat, Chuck, is 16 years old.
One day not so long ago I discovered a small lump under my cat's chin on the left side, just behind the jaw bone. I monitored it for several weeks and it didn't grow or seem troublesome at all to Chuck. About 8 weeks after initially noticing the small lump, I took Chuck in for teeth cleaning and it ended up including 3 extractions, one extraction was in close proximity to the lump under his chin.
Hello, I've recently noticed a very hard lump on my cat's stomach after he had been in a fight with another cat. I thought it may have been a broken rib and so took him to the vet, where i was told what it was although i can't remember the exact name although i think it could be 'Neoplastic of the sturnum'.
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.
This is what so many people don't understand, that a trip to the vet, for an older cat, is very traumatic. My own cat's heart beats so fast and she pants like yours, I hate to put her through that. My cat has a lump on the end of her tail also, she's 13. She doesn't act sick at all and the lump doesn't seem to hurt her or bother her when I pressed down on it, although she didn't particularly like me messing with her tail right there either. I don't know what to do.
Our 12-year-old Maine Coon cat Penelope, has had a lump below her jaw line for at least 6 years now. When my husband first rescued this cat she had it, and he immediately had it aspirated. Everything was fine, and now the lump is growing faster and faster by the day, and we are now being told that surgery is the only way to handle it this time. The surgeon we most recently took her to advised that the total for all the tests and the surgery would be $3800.00.
My cat's drinking water has been cloudy for a few weeks. This morning I was petting him and found crustiness under his chin. It was a dried scab sort of thing. I cleaned it with hydrogen peroxide and salt water. It's a hole like a pimple. It's a lump too. Only blood was on the qtip, nothing yellow. I checked his teeth, they all look ok. I can't see under his tongue. He's been acting normally, eating hard and soft food, going to the bathroom, etc.

My cat has a huge lump on her back. It is where she had a bite/scratch (dont know which). We noticed the mark last Wednesday because she would meow a bad meow when we pet her there. She has fleas if that is relevent. And she had gotten outside the same night we found the mark. So we dont know if it is from the fleas, herself, or another animal. I just need to know what is wrong with her and why there is a huge lump right along her spine.
My friends dog is a 9 year old cockapoo, and the other day I noticed she had a red bloody spot in her fur behind her head, on the backside of her neck. The lump is about the size of a walnut; hard and leaking small amounts of blood. My friends not sure if the dog scratched it to make it bleed, so she took a close look at the sore spot and gently squeezed it getting more blood and puss out of it. She then washed it with antiseptic wash and covered it.
I have found it quite helpful. Whether it 'cures' Lyme, I don't know, and doubt that it does, but I'm not medically trained.
I have gone off the cats claw a few times and my symptoms came back, so I'd have to say that it works for me.
Another possibility is astragalus, which is an immune-system-supporting herb, so I read.
My current MD is a believer in whatever works, and suggested that I stop the cats claw but stay on the astragalus ...
I have a hard lump on the left side of my back, close to my armpit but not under it. It appeared before 3-4 months and i thought it will disappear by itself, but it doesn't. It is not painful and the skin around the spot doesn't have any unusual color, but it's hard on touching. Could this be something serious? I am male, 41 year old.
A friend of mine has a small lump on the back right side of his head. It swells every once in a while which causes a headache that migrates toward the front. Then goes away. This has been going on for around 2 years. It's only on the right side. He has seen his pcp and they suggested it may just be a tension headache. Any suggestions as to what could be causing this??
Our jack-russell/rat terrier mix has a huge lump on the side of her back. She went missing for three days, but it looks like a baseball is underneath her skin it's so big. We do have several Airedales that like to pick on her (we don't know if that could have anything to do with it. Do have any suggestions of how we could treat this ourselves and what might of caused this huge lump? She is 5 years old.
