Possible cat mammary tumor....
Muggles the stalker from the colony I care for had to go back to the vet last Monday and she got stronger antibiotics for her Bartonella's. Well the vet also found what she thinks is a mammary tumor (Which she said and I have researched wind up being over 90% malignant). I am hoping and praying it's only an infection from when she was fixed and they aborted what she was carrying. I was wondering what any of you might think? The vet said to see if the new meds make it smaller but she seemed pretty intent on it being a mammary tumor. I can't afford that kind of surgery right now....But if I have to I will sell something or something.
Any thoughts???? And please if you do pray say one for Muggles she's a ball of love she has no tail, only two teeth and her third eye lids are up because of years of infection but she is NOTHING BUT LOVE to me. I've already lost two little pals this year I don't want and can't lose another. Thanks Bill

If you can afford to have the 'tumour' sampled (if the meds don't help, that is) - they can probably draw off some cells with a syringe. Then at least you would know what you're dealing with. No point grieving for nothing.
She's lucky to have you. |

for Muggles
I agree w/Badger if they can do a Fine Needle Aspirate & check the cells on a slide they can test for cancerous cells before doing surgery for a biopsy or possible removal.

Nothing to add Bill except I hope it isn't a tumour. That would suck.

Thanks all I will see if I can get this vet to do that and if not I will find one that will but I am going to give the meds another week to see how it feels she is such a loving little stalker (She stalks me as soon as I walk outside) and considering she has no tail, only two teeth and has obviously had a *****ty time of it she has more spirit & soul than I ever have....Ever
I am in awe of her you can see her playing in the catnip here.. Bill
