I just wanted to see if anyone else experienced this with their fur baby. I was grooming my baby Xena when I noticed that she has what feels like a soft tissue mass near her anus. It is round and feels like it could be the size of a chic pea. I was squeezing it a little bit and Xena never gave me any indication that it was causing her pain. I never noticed it before so I started googling and anal sac blockage/infection came up. Just to give a little more info, Xena has no tail. She isn't a full blooded manx but she is some what built like one. She hops when she runs... in a very cute way !!!! Anyhow, I added that little bit of info because she may not have a lot of feeling in her hind parts. She doesn't always acknowledge that I am touching her when it is in a certain area near her rear.
I AM TAKING HER TO THE VET.
I am only posting this to see if other pet owners have experienced this with their pet and give me their insight about it. I KNOW that the info given on her does not replace what a vet could say. Please don't respond to this thread if you are going to tell me to take her to the vet because it is my intention to do just that. I am just a little nervous because the first thing that comes to my mind is tumor and cancer and that scares me to pieces. Thanks in advance for any replies.
