Hello everyone. Sorry if this is super long and probably no one can really help with this...
I wonder if anyone can shed some light or have had similar things happen.
Backstory: I recently changed vets to one close to wear I live. My 2 year old cat had his yearly vaccines ( rabies and distemper at shoulders and back leg) and he was also given a Depo Medrol steroid shot one his mid back flank area for what the doctor thinks may be asthma. That was on the 10th of this month. Sadly that night, he had a bad fever and we went to the hospital. They ran tests to check his lungs and heart and all came back okay so they gave him fluids shots in his back and we had to just monitor him. They told me not to have multiple injections together anymore. The fever was gone the next day. 7 days (the 17th) later I noticed a soft lump on his back. Maybe dime size and moves around easy under the skin if you can get it due to the softness. Its pretty close to where he had his steroid shot but not exact? Is that normal for that type of shot? Of course online the first responce for injection and lump on cat is automatically cancer... Thanks google
I contacted his vet on monday and they seemed okay with it and that it should go away in a week or two? Didnt even wanna see him. He has had that shot before a couple months ago and I never noticed a lump then. Another reason im concerned if its a mix reaction from a vaccine. Sometime the lump feels smaller when he is just laying around and thin suddenly larger (puffy) a few hours later. Kinda concerned there could be an infection... but he doesnt have a fever, eatting, and bathroom are fine. So its super stressful and soon itll be a week since discovery.
Anyone have had this happen? Am I just freaking out for no reason? I just want him to be okay and it to go away. I tried to do whats best for my pet but now horrible things could happen from this
