Hi everyone! Sorry if there is already a thread about this issue, I found many but the descriptions show something quite different from my problem...
My baby is 6 years old and is, in general, very healthy.
About one month ago, I found what feels like a lump or a mass underneath her skin, right below her left scapule. As she is a litlle overweight , I thought it could be just a fatty structure and didn't bother much. However, two days ago, I noticed the same lump/mass in the same place and I panicked! I took her to the vet yesterday and the vet said it doesn't seem to be anything serious. She suggested a biopsy and I asked her about needle aspiration instead. She said that needle aspiration is not as reliable. Then I decided to watch it closely and if it grows, I will go for a biopsy
Point is, there is no visible lump above the skin, the thing is under the surface of the skin but when I pet her I can feel the whole area is kind of raised. I'm not sure if it's bigger than it was one month ago but sometimes I think it is. There is no wound either. The skin is perfect.
She had no vaccines on this site either. More than one year ago, she got fluid therapy but that's all.
Please, does anybody know what it may be??
I'm really scared! I lost a cat to fibrosarchoma years ago and it was the worst experience of my life!
Sorry for the long text...
