why do my kitttens have lumps on their stomach (lower left)

Just had a feel of my kittens tummies and they both have these lumps on their lower left sides....
what is that?

Could it be worms? Or over feeding?

How old are they?

they are 4 weeks old... have already been treated for worms....
the lump is sort of flat... feels like a raised area and starts just after the ribs end and is about the size of a large thumbnail.... it's not hard.... just like raised....

Hi,

this could be an umbillical hernia, though at the end of the day you'll have to get a vet to take a look at your kittens.

Odd. Humans have the spleen there, I believe. Probably cats too.

Can it be their spleen is swollen up, enlargened??

Are they otherwise entirely healthy? If you feel on these raisings, does it seems hurt them?

I think you should consider contacting a vet if there are also any other alarming signals.



Good luck!

well they were at the vet on friday and also today for antio bios and a check up today.... i'll give him a ring tomorrow and see what he says...
just wanted to check in the mean time.

Sounds like a colon full of poo. Not to worry. Cally
