My cat has 2 lumps under her skin, one on her back, and a large one on her stomach, that have just appeared. Yesturday after I took her to the Vet, I realized that she is also loosing hair along her lower back. The vet said that they recommended surgery to remove the lumps, but said that they could not tell me what it might be, until they are removed. I just wondered what this might be the simptoms of. I am going to take her for a blood test before I let them do surgery on her.

Hi and welcome to TCS!!!!!
I'm not an expert, but I'm sure the lumps could be a number of different things. The best thing you could do for your kitty right now is to work closely with your vet. Sorry I'm not very helpful. There are others here who are very knowledgeable who may be able to give you better advice.

marcella, Those lumps could be anything from benign cysts to malignant growths. Only the vet can tell you for sure. I'm sorry we can't be of more help. If you have a good vet, trust him or her.
