    Lump Or Mass Underneath Skin

    Sorry for taking so long to reply; I got out of internet and in Brazil, this means a looong time without it... Thank you so much for your words of support. Yes, that's it. I have to take my chances and pray that they are the right ones... But I've been keeping both eyes on it and nearly every...

    Lump Or Mass Underneath Skin

    Thanks for your reply. I understand your point. The problem about removing is that, if it is malignant, it has to be removed with really wide margins. Point is, the doctor may think she is getting enough wide margins and she isn't. It is not possible, on naked eye, to know where the tumor...

    Lump Or Mass Underneath Skin

    Thanks for your reply. Yes, I think those cases seem to be nothing to worry about but we have to keep an eye just to be safe! :)

    Lump Or Mass Underneath Skin

    Updating... I took her to the vet and the two professionals (owners of the clinic and specialized in cats - actually that is a cat only clinic) examined her. Both told me it feels more like a fatty lump, nothing to worry about. They just told me to keep a close eye on it, of course, so if there...

    Lump Or Mass Underneath Skin

    Actually it's weird ... doesn't feel like a lump but rather like a mass or a bump although it's definitely under the skin and one can't see any bumps on the surface... And the lication is intriguing. Right below her left shoulder blade, near the spinal cord... As I said before, no vaccines in...

    Lump Or Mass Underneath Skin

    Lump Or Mass Underneath Skin

    Thanks for your reply! The lump seems to move along with the skin but I can't be 100 per cent sure. She is otherwise very healthy. Three years ago, she was diagnosed stage zero for kidney insufficiency. In order to delay the progress of the disease, her vet (who is pretty holistic thank God)...

    Lump Or Mass Underneath Skin

    Thank you for your reply! Her name is Shiva. I am thinking of asking the vet for a needle aspiration because if it is cancer and we have it removed it will grow back... if we choose the aspiration we will have a chance to decide if surgery is worth it.

    Lump Or Mass Underneath Skin

    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...

    Strange Lumps All Over Skin

    Hi there. My cat is 6 years old and I adopted her 4 years ago. Since then, she has been having small wax and wain wounds all over her back. They sometimes disappear for months and come back either in the same place or in a new one . Fungus tests were done twice, both negative. The wounds...

    Benazepril For Early Kidney Disease

    Yes, I agree with you. Vets should understand our fears and concerns and discuss the matter with us but... this is not what usually happens. At least not here in Brazil... In my country, doctors (for humans) and vets think they are gods, you know?... They never assume they may make mistakes and...

    Benazepril For Early Kidney Disease

    Thank you so much for your kind reply! I have already checked on this site (Tanya's); it's a great site, very complete and informative! The problem is that my vet won't accept that this medication may actually damage the kidneys instead of improving them... if I insist on talking to her about...

    Benazepril For Early Kidney Disease

    Hello, everyone! First of all, sorry if there is already a thread about it but I have searched and haven't found any. Well, my Shiva is 4 years old, eats normally, plays and has no clinical signs of chronic kidney disease. However, her recent blood works have showed creatinine to be at 1.4 rate...

    Hello Everyone!

    Thank you, she is my baby! After I adopted her, I realized that I actually have maternal instincts towards her :lol: - whenever she gets sick, I just can't sleep at night; spend the whole night watching her every move (and crying my eyes out at the slight thought of losing her). But I believe...

    Skin Sores

    My baby has been having the same problem. Reccurent sores on her back. It happned three times. They are small wounds (usually 3 or 4) that form a kind of a crust and then disappears. After some time (usually a few months), the wounds comes back. But her wounds look different from the ones on the...
