Why does my cat have a lump on the side of his stomach?
Fatty tumors, called lipomas, may show up anywhere on a cat’s body. They aren’t cancerous and don’t need to be removed unless they keep your cat from getting around well. They’re seen more often in older or overweight cats. To check a lump for cancer, your vet will use a needle to get a sample.
What do cat fatty tumors look like?
Lumps and bumps are the most common signs of a lipoma. They are usually round or oval in shape, form under the skin, and are well-defined. Your veterinarian will perform a thorough physical exam on your cat and may recommend diagnostic tests to confirm the lump is a lipoma.
How long can a cat live with a stomach tumor?
Untreated, the average survival time from diagnosis is about two months. This can be prolonged with chemotherapy (in some cases for 12 months or occasionally longer), although unfortunately not all lymphomas respond, especially if the cat has feline leukaemia virus.
Can lipomas grow fast in cats?
Treatment for Cat Lipomas The growth of most lipomas is quite slow, which gives you time before making a hasty decision to have a lipoma surgically removed if you are on the fence. Lipomas that are larger, fast-growing, or invasive into surrounding tissue may be appropriate candidates for surgical removal.
