Here's why you should see a vet:
* There are many potential causes for bumps on cats. It could be a simple cyst, an allergic reaction, or something more serious like a tumor.
* Only a veterinarian can properly assess the bump. They will examine the cat, feel the lump, and potentially run tests like biopsies to determine the cause.
* Early detection is crucial for successful treatment. Many health conditions are easier to treat when caught early.
Here are some things to observe and tell the vet:
* Location of the bump: Is it on the skin, under the skin, or on a specific body part?
* Size and shape: Is it growing? Is it hard or soft?
* Color and appearance: Does it look inflamed or infected?
* Any changes in your cat's behavior: Is your cat scratching, licking, or limping?
Please schedule an appointment with your veterinarian as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan for your cat.
