I'm concerned about our cat Hemmy. Last Tuesday I found lumps under his nipples. We saw the vet on Wednesday who prescribed antibiotics and a painkiller/anti-inflammatory with instructions to follow up in one week. Her thinking is that it could be as simple as an infection and the treatment with the meds should clear it up but it also could be as complex as cancer so we also made a plan to have the places removed if the meds don't work.
Since he's had the meds, I'm seeing him deteriorate. He's eating and playing still but the places don't seem to be improving; they seem to be growing. Also, his belly feels bloated and hard and he really just doesn't seem himself. He still has several doses but my husband and I have decided to return to the vet Monday if there is no change (or change for the worse) over the weekend.
Has anyone experienced anything like this with their cat? I'm really very worried about him and it all seems to be moving very quickly.
