Hi everyone,
My 10 year old cat has a bone growth on her shoulder on the scapula area. She also has a tiny little ball growing on the left side of her body on her hind leg. It's right under the skin and not connected to any muscles. I don't see any indications where it looks like a bite and she is an indoor cat.
I took her to the vet yesterday and her blood work came back all normal. The vet did say her rear lymph node under her right leg was a little swollen too.
The vet couldn't diagnose her and suggested to just keep an eye on her to see if the growths get bigger. She acts completely normal though she does once in a while falls when trying to jump on my bed.
Anyone had any similar situations where there was a strange bone growth on the shoulder bone? Any advice? Could it just be some weird random "old lady" thing? I'd hate to put her through invasive tests if she may not even need it. Her labs had all come back normal, white blood counts, everything! If it were to be Cancer, wouldn't she show some type of signs?!
I'd appreciate any advice I could get. Thanks in advance.
