Just wondering if anyone has run across a situation like this before.
The rescue I used to volunteer with (and still help out ocassionally) has a gorgeous, sweet 10-week-old kitten, named Anya in their care. When some potential adopters recently came to meet Anya, they discovered a small lump on her chest area. Anya was taken to the vet for a chest xray, which revealed she has an abnormal sternum. The bone protrudes, appearing as a lump. The vet isn't sure of Anya's prognosis. She hasn't come across a situation like this before. At this point, the vet can't tell if Anya's heart is larger than normal, but she confirm there's no murmur.
Since Anya's longterm health is in question for now, she'll be pulled from the adoption list. The plan is to let her grow for 2-3 months, then have her reevaluated.
Any insights would be appreciated. Also, please send vibes for this sweet baby girl. Thanks!
