Cat with lump

i was petting my cat and discovered she has a huge lump on her left side its a little soft but its hard to. and u can see it when she walks her side is bulging out any idea what it could be im very worried

Hi Diva, you need to bring kitty to the vet. It might be nothing, or it could be fluid buildup , an access or yes even Cancer. Cats are notorious for masking their pain, so best to have the vet take a look. Hugs and best wishes.

thanks im just afraid to take her to the vet cause the last time we took 1 to the vet they ended killing it so very scared bout that and very scared it may be cancer. and thank u for your advice

I second the need for a vet visit. The sooner the better.

I'm so sorry to hear about your previous cat. I can certainly understand your hesitation. Ask around to find a good vet in your area.

thanks i was thinking bout it just dont want to lose her

Because there are so many possibilities and such little time to diagnose and successfully treat some things, it's imperative that she sees a vet as soon as possible. I don't know the circumstances behind your last vet visit and whether or not it was a complex condition, or if there was some mishandling, but I'm very wary of seeing new vets so I always check these sources for reviews:

i am so sorry to hear that. i hope you find the strength you need and the peace you deserve. 

im really struggling right now i cant face the fact that she wont be here much longer its killing me

gosh I know your pain...I was a WRECK when dealing with Minnie's diagnosis and initial treatment ...I couldn't eat and went to bed early just so I wouldn't have to deal with it! It wa HORRIBLE as it was such a shocker to us. I finally got a grip on myself and counted on my faith and just released it... and was a peace from there on out... it's so sad because we have to do what's best for our babies...but that is the WORST for us! (hugs)

I am so sorry these were the results. It can be overwhelming. 

thanks everyone all i can say is my cats a miracle shes still with me and still eating even though the tumor is almost to her chest she keeps fighting to stay alive im amazed

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that diagnosis! I am glad you're both able to continue enjoying your time together regardless - don't focus on the amount of time, but make the best of every second you spend together.

I'm very sorry to hear the bad news. Many hugs for you and your cat.

thanks everyoe i apreciate it i thik shes going to be going very soon she looked at me in the eyes last night and started crying like she knows whats going to happen it killed me i thought she was saying goodbye but shes with me another day and im so glad

well everyone shes still here fighting everyday to stay with me but she hasnt drank water for 4 days now shes loosing control of her bladder and keeps falling over cause of how weak she is  i dont think she has much time left

Gosh, maybe it's time to help her along.. surely she is dying if she is behaving like this... I would not allow mine to suffer especially when you know it will not get better

shes bleeding now im hoping shell go on her own if not then im going to end her suffering on friday i dont want to but is she wont go then thats the only way to stop her suffereing
