The cat has bumps
Bumps in cats appear and grow rapidly. Some of them are life threatening and lead to the death of the pet.
Why did the cat have a bump on its body?
Most often, lumps and bumps in cats appear in the abdomen and abdomen. Only a veterinarian can accurately diagnose and prescribe treatment. Be sure to contact the clinic. Remember that lost time will only make matters worse.
Bumps in cats are not always fatal
The most dangerous disease for an animal is breast cancer. The neglected form does not respond to treatment and leads to death. Cancer manifests itself in the form of seals and lumps in the area of the mammary glands, and their size is different. At an early stage, only a doctor will help to identify the disease. Outwardly, the animal looks ordinary, but a caring owner will notice the apathy, fatigue and weakness of the pet. Further, the disease progresses, and the bumps cover the entire body, become purple, bleed.
Another reason for seals on the body of an animal is a benign tumor or lipoma. It does not develop as rapidly as cancer. The seal is round and soft to the touch. Such a lump does not pose a threat to the pet’s life, but you should not postpone a visit to the doctor.
In addition, bumps on the body of an animal are associated with diseases such as:
- inflammation and infection in the blood. A cone the size of a walnut;
- hernia. The lump appears in the groin area in both cats and adult cats. Localized in one place or constantly moving. The body temperature of the cat is high;
- mastitis. Seals are formed in the nipple area, in a lactating cat milk is poorly secreted, has impurities of pus.
Sometimes pet bumps have nothing to do with disease. They appear as a result of mechanical stress, bruises or injuries. Such seals pass on their own.
What to do if your cat has a bump
Remember that all malignant tumors can only be treated with surgery. No gadgets and folk remedies will help here.
Cones with furunculosis are opened, pus is removed. The operation ends with the introduction of a disinfectant into the wound. Further, the animal is under observation, the skin is kept clean.
A hernia is treated with massages given by a veterinarian. Sometimes the seal is fixed with a bandage. In rare cases, surgery is required when the tumor presses on the internal organs.
Lipoma is treated with conservative methods. It is extremely rare to remove the formation, only when the tumor is inconvenient due to its large size.
Mastitis is successfully treated with compresses and massage. In addition, the doctor will prescribe a course of antibiotics and other medications. Neglected cases require surgical intervention.
It is impossible to independently diagnose bumps from a cat’s photo, and even more so to cure them. Make an appointment with your veterinarian. Pass all tests and exclude cancerous tumors. Examine your pet at home more often, monitor its well-being.
