Hi, Back in May I rescued a gorgeous cat from a local cat rescue and he's honestly amazing. He's fit in perfectly with all my existing animals and hasn't put a paw wrong.
A few weeks after we got him I thought I could feel a lump in his primordial pouch but it was only if he sat in a certain position. 2 weeks ago I noticed it had got much bigger so off to the vet he went with much screaming and 💩 in his carrier.
She said it felt like a large fatty lump and as its not bothering him atall we should wait and see. She then said its pretty rare for a cat of his age (between 18 months and 2 years old) to have a fatty lump/lipoma.
Just gave him a flea bath as his spot on didn't work (only one of the pets with fleas that just won't go - house and all pets are treated regularly) and noticed the lump feels even bigger, between a golf ball and tennis ball size but oval shaped rather than round. Rang the vets straight away and he's booked in to see them again tomorrow morning.
At the last visit she said if it got bigger and I was worried they would sedate him and test the fluid and if it's anything bad they will remove it. The lump isn't bothering him atall, he still runs and jumps, toilets normally etc.. and the positioning of the lump means a operation to remove it may be very uncomfortable for him.
Has anyone had something similar? It's between his back legs in the big pouchy bit, squishy and moveable which were apparently good signs.
I can't stop worrying about him :( and really hope his £4000 insurance cover is enough (I know - I should have got more cover)
