Hello all! I just picked up my new kitten a few hours ago now. She is about 3 months old, we think. We have decided to call her Astrid Skye, Azza or Azzi for short.
Anyway, as I was stroking Azza, I noticed on her right side, not her left, she has a lump, almost feels like bloat, I don't feel an actual growth or anything. It is not directly on her side, it seems to go more towards the inside underbelly, but doesn't quite go all the way down. Again, it is only on her right side, right past her ribs. I just gave her a dose of fish tapes and my boyfriend is out getting a syringe for the Pyrantel in case it is worms.
She eats very well, almost too well, and produced a bowel movement right as she got in, which looked very normal to me. She did not struggle with it either. Her water intake is normal as well. There does not seem to be any trauma in the area whatsoever. She is constantly purring and wanting attention and is very playful. She walks normal and doesn't act like it hurts her when I feel around her right side. She is not overweight by any means, really she is underweight (in my opinion.) The reason I am asking you guys before I take her to the vet is because our vet is closed until tomorrow. I was just wondering if this seems like an emergency where I should rush her into a clinic or if it can wait until tomorrow. Thank you for any advice or input! Hopefully someone has experienced this same thing and can help ease my mind a bit.
