Yes, hello, I responded to a separate thread just now but thought I should also create a new one and state my problem here.
You see, my household has two cats; my 4-year old cat, and the family's 13-year old cat. About two months ago, the 13-years started acting up in odd ways. His skin would ripple in his lower back, and touching the area seemed to cause great pain. Now, he seems to be in constant pain from the area, despite the medication given to us by the vet. Not too long ago, though, we found that he had hidden matted fur down on his lower back, and slightly to the left. Upon taking care of the fur, we realised he has a rather large bump laying right underneath; where the pain seemed especially potent. Since then, though, there has been no new news.
Until today, that is, where I made a rather worrying discovery. The 4-years had some matted fure in the very same area (and his back had been rippling for some time as well). Worried, and fearing the worst, I took care of the matted fur and - sure enough - there was a bump laying underneath, though much smaller than the 13-years'. The only difference, other than size of the bump, is that the 4-years doesn't appear to be in any pain from the area, but is lightly irritated at the insisted feeling of said area.
Can anyone help? Has anyone experienced this before? Is this some deadly, painful disease? Or a form of cancer? It's hard to believe it's appearing in both cats in the exact same spot of their bodies, with many of the same symptoms.
I appreciate any insight there may be to this, as I'm fraught with worry and mounting despair. I can't lose my 4-year old feline friend so early into his life.
