Hi there.
I have just returned from the vets with my cat (an 8 year old male) who has had a lump removed from under his chin.
Apart from this one lump he has seemed happy enough and has displayed no signs of illness.
The lump was tested by the lab, and it now turns out that it is in fact Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The vet assures me that this is exceedingly rare in cats (the surgery has not encountered it before) and that now it has been excised the chance of re-emergence is remote. However, I was wondering if anyone had encountered this before in cats. I'm obviously eager to find out more.
I have to take him back in a month for another examination and would like to have a better idea of what we could be facing.
Thanks
