Could prednisolone bring this out? Assuming it is a wart. She's been on prednisolone since December (IBD problems), and I just stopped it about a week ago.Papillomatosis is contagious in nature and in older cats, this disorder can arise due to the immune system being suppressed through the use of medication, surgery, or in some instances, disease. There are some cases where the wart virus is genetically related by breed.
I'm really confused about what this could be. I'm going to make an appointment as soon as possible, but I'll appreciate any weird face lump stories anyone has to share.In cats, papillomavirus does not cause the hard, rounded warts seen in most other species. Instead, it leads to formation of a squamous cell carcinoma.
Your cat should see a vet. That looks painful.I'm not sure what this is
My cat is 17yr old indoor cat.
