Thank you, when I started researching, this also became one of my differentials. Definitely going to have it removed. Thanks for this excellent resource.

Going to call the vet first thing Monday when they open ... I just noticed this bluish, vascular looking growth on the lateral aspect of my boy's front paw. He is 15 years old and very lovey, and I am always holding his paws. He was also just at the vet a few weeks ago, I trimmed his nails for...

Any updates on what the vet said? My cat has a similar growth I just noticed tonight.

Hello, first time poster here, but I have lurked and poured over all of your responses for many months now. Thank you all for creating such an awesome community that I hope to be able to contribute to. I am here for my cat Boogie who was diagnosed with IBD/Triaditis in September. After an...
