hi everyone. i noticed my kitty scratching on his back for a while and licking it and i figured he was just being a weird cat, but then a couple days ago i was petting him there and he has sores all over his skin
well, i took him to the vet the next day, and he took a look and at first he thought it was just some skin fungus. but after feeling around a bit more, he got surprised and it turns out my poor kitten has a tumor on his back. the vet said he has to have immediate surgery. the tumor itself is small right now, but he says it could grow and become malignant and could kill my cat in the future, but if he has surgery, the vet said there is a chance he could die after being put under anesthesia...
he is only 1 year old and doesn't deserve this, i feel terrible.
i just want to know if anyone knows what the chances are of my kitty surviving this. my fiancee is taking him to the vet right now while i'm at work. i can't stop thinking about it. please tell me he'll be okay.
