Hello. My cat has a lump growing on his belly. He had a surgery to remove bladder stones as he had urinary blockage about 2-3 months ago. After surgery, he had like a little dot of flesh sticking out when the incision fully healed after 14 days. The vet said it was nothing to worry about. After some time, the flesh went back inside and only a tiny dot is now left.
However, lumps are now growing around the little dot. It has quite an irregular shape. My cat's behaviour is perfectly normal and he doesn't seem to be bothered by it. Of course, I brought him to the vet 5 days ago, just to be safe. He performed an x-ray on my cat and told me he is having something called fibrose tissue growing under his belly, and suggested to remove it by surgery after 20 days, but that it should be removed earlier if I notice it is growing rapidly.
I am attaching a photo taken today. Please I would like an advice on the matter. Have anyone experienced similar problems with their cats? I have read on several stuffs online already, mentioning problems like abscesses, lipomas, fibrosarcomas, mast-cell tumors, etc. I am really worried for him and I would like to take the right steps to make sure he is okay. Is the surgery necessary or can this lump go away on its own? I am also worried about post-surgery issues and possible recurrences.
Ps: I could not get a clear photo of the lumps as he hates being in this position in general.
