Has anybody seen or heard of anything like this?
This summer over the heatwave period my male 6 year old cat Morrissey had an outbreak of dry, flat lumps all over his stomach, some on his legs and a very sore one on the base of his tail. The lumps are circular, rough to the touch, hairless and he is always licking them. They spread within a month and after having a fight with my other cat (Mabel) causing blood and ripping her ear we took him straight to the vets.
We have had blood tests, urine test and a biopsy but nothing has showed up to explain the lumps so we were given cream and itch relief but nothing seems to make a difference. I am thinking of getting a second opinion as the lumps seem to be spreading onto his armpits and the two cats now have to be separated everyday when my husband and I are not in the house because we are worried they will have another fight.
I have considered it being down to anxiety and stress since we have some work done in the garden during the day. He is a house cat but is very interested in going outside. Do you think this would help?
I would be very grateful for any input.
Thanks,
S
